Nixgl: https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL

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 thought this was going to automatically wrap all my packages in NixGL. But this is about the way more convenient NixGL set-up that happened to home-manager last year, yes?

      Yeah, but I only discovered it now.

      Looking on github though, it looks like people combine builtins.map with this to wrap a bunch of packages at once though.

        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!
