Second this. It's mostly been a pleasure, but Steam is a mess. And I just gave up on Android development on NixOS; I used a Ubuntu VM for that.

But starting off with a new computer, copying over a config file from one of your existing files, building...and ending up with _exactly the same system_, including all those tweaks to _this_ file and _that_ config, and the cronjobs you've set up over time, and all your different rc files, is magical.

Steam works fine for me. Also, the "NVidia prime" stuff from https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia works out of the box since 20.09. (Though i will be happy when Dell finally sells AMD graphics instead.)

Also I've made android packages (albiet ones that don't use much Java) using the Nixpkgs repackaging of the Android SDK.
