Love NixOS and Nix in general (just not the language). I've started using `steam-run` to run things I'm too smooth brain to port.

I will say that once I found out about Flakes it bothered me a lot less. I find them a lot easier to test and it's nice to be able to easily define a custom little environment for them and then just do `nix run` afterwards.

It's been especially useful to be able to specify exact versions of wine and winetricks installs on a per-game basis.

That will likely soon stop working because steam-run is no longer a grab bag for literally every library out there.
