So, I'm an arch-btwistan, what does nixos do for a gamer/youtuber/low-tier-wannabe-musician? Legit asking, because I really don't know what makes nixos tick, and the (very little) I've read doesn't really explain the benefits of it

Everything about your OS is defined in a config files and can be rebuilt. You break something you don't need to do a complete reinstall if you can't figure it out. Just rebuild the last working configuration. Sharing builds with your friends is easier.

For gaming getting your graphics card going is much simpler. I never had steam and proton games run as well as they do with they nixos defaults

It sounds like a Dockerfile for your system OS?
