Also, it seems like this requires the latest “stateversion”, since this is a new feature.

This is pretty big, because it makes it easy to use applications that use the GPU from nixpkgs on non Nixos systems.

    I’m also mapping the wrapper over a list and combining it with unmodified packages.

    I suppose that is the Nix-y way, but I can’t help but feel like it’s a bit…manual? I always wondered if I should just wrap all of my home-manager packages that way!

      Huh. The page was updated, reviewing it a year later. It does look like there is an option to automatically give GPU to all Nix/home-manager programs now. If you set targets.genericLinux.enable to true, then it should work.

        Thanks for the heads up!

        The new hostwide flag is very convenient. It probably won’t work for me because I’m sticking to stock SteamOS for now, and it’s very immutable. But I’m giving it a try asap!
