NixOS configuration for my gaming computer

To apply configuration, run sudo nixos-rebuild switch -I nixos-config=configuration.nix

Nice benefits with Linux gaming

  • htop gives much more information about system performance than Task Manager
  • No background Windows Defender stealing performance
  • Bluetooth connects faster and seems to not have major hardware issues like Windows
  • OS and apps start faster
  • Gnome has a nicer interface, the taskbar actually hides, and the Activities overlay is really nice to use
  • Gnome settings are much nicer and usable than Windows settings
  • I can install and configure a lot of things through Nix, which makes it easier to maintain my gaming computer
  • Discord notifications actually tell you who messaged
  • Just much less weird background shit running
  • Much less tweaking needed for an optimal experience, no Cortana/ads to disable, no 3rd party junk to install
