I have to agree that it's awesome. Two amazing examples which come to
mind are:
1. Using nix for reproducible Windows builds within Linux, including a
derivation which installs Windows from an iso into a VM
image. (Unfortunately I was never able to try this because I couldn't
obtain an iso and license key).
2. The NixOS test suite. In nixpkgs/nixos/tests/quake3.nix there is a
test which actually starts a quake3 server with bots and joins two
separate players into the game. It checks that the players joined
successfully and then takes screenshots of players being fragged by
bots.
So my question is, why play games yourself on Windows when you can
automate it with Nix?
