Speaking of, how is NixOS for gaming? I remember trying it a while ago but not being able to get the Nvidia drivers working. I've since switched to a machine with AMD graphics though.
Decided to take this as an opportunity to just go for it. It works great on my gaming PC with Plasma 6. I tested Balatro with Proton, and Baldur's Gate III.
I have a Ryzen 5800X3D CPU and an RX7900XTX GPU.
So far it seems just fine! I'm finding a few bugs here and there, but I think that has more to do with COSMIC than NixOS. I'm going to do some more testing on Plasma to narrow down where the issues are. You can see my config here:

Steam with Proton works OOTB for me if you enable the option in the system config.
