Game Launchers

The actual game launchers and clients I use, kept separate from my catch-all package list so they only show up on hosts that actually want them. Here’s the homeManager.game-packages module.

{
  flake.modules.homeManager.game-packages = {
    pkgs,
    lib,
    config,
    ...
  }:
    with lib; let
      cfg = config.home.games.game-packages;
    in {
      <<options>>
      <<config>>
    };
}

Declaring the Option

options.home.games.game-packages.enable = mkEnableOption "Install game launchers and clients";

The Packages

atlauncher and heroic are launchers for Minecraft and for Epic/GOG/Amazon respectively. openmw is an open-source reimplementation of Morrowind’s engine. It makes the experience a lot more enjoyable, especially on a 2K 21:9 screen like the one I use on my main computer. openttd-jgrpp is OpenTTD with the JGR patchpack. moonlight-qt lets me stream from my gaming machine to another one on the network (mostly via Tailscale). Lastly, vintagestory is, well, Vintage Story, and where all my free time has been disappearing into since early 2026.

config.home.packages = mkIf cfg.enable (with pkgs; [
  atlauncher
  heroic
  openmw
  openttd-jgrpp
  moonlight-qt
  vintagestory
]);
