No point imo, the people who benefit significantly from using Linux are the people who understand what it is
I try to get my techy friends on Linux and much of my family are techies anyway but I wouldn't try to put someone who won't be able to fix it themselves on it because then they're stuck if I'm not around to fix it
Does home manager work standalone without having nix first? I've never installed it on non-nixos
Nix shell is absolutely for running packages without installing them it literally tells you to do that in the terminal hint
Nix run iirc only works with flakes
They've definitely been a big problem in the past
As of 550 they seem to have worked out the glaring issues at least in my experience
Nah proprietary, unfortunately last I checked nouveau still kinda sucks performance wise
Only thing better than perfect is standard as they say, if everything uses the same shortcuts it doesn't matter if they're crap
I've kept most of the same logic from windows keybinds on my hyprland config because then when I have to use a windows machine it's not completely backwards
Have you got your filters set to only Linux native games or something? Little penguin icon in the steam search bar
I literally used this as an example to demonstrate gaming on Linux is easy now
Works perfectly out of the box, all you gotta do is install steam, download it and click play
I actually no longer have any Nvidia related issues, I think it is already here
Sounds like nobara or bazzite to me
Or basically any distro and steam tbh
If you can install nix (you can install it per user) then you can have whatever you want in a temporary shell with nix-shell -p python
nix profile install nixpkgs#python if you want it actually installed
Home manager is also entirely user level I believe and lets you use a declarative config too
I think it depends on the individual, I've eaten at fancy places in the past, but that has had no bearing on my enjoyment of the usual slop I make myself
At which point the safer bet is to get them a Chromebook which is supported by Google and not by you
