It's a distribution completely centered around the Nix package manager. This basically allows you to program how your system should look using one programming language. If you want an identical system, just copy that file and you're set.

I remember that thr kernel didn't had performance flags set and used, making NixOS not a nice Gaming platform.

Is this true? Can I fix it for myself easily?

Easily? I've heard it's really time consuming to get it exactly how you like it but the same could be said about a lot of distros.

Are you talking about that vm.max_memory something?
Not sure how you'd change it in Nix exactly, but should be simple enough.

Been gaming on nixos for a month or two and haven't had any issues AFAICT

I never said it wont have issues. Just a few less FPS without noticing.
