I have tried to allow unfree packages to install steam and discord but nothing worked here are some of the things I have tried; 1. { allowUnfree = true; allowUnfreePredicate = pkg: true; }

{ nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; }

( config, pkgs, allow unfree=true)

Every time I tried to rebuild something would go wrong so I tried temporary stuff like NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-shell And –impure But nothing worked

What should I do???

      Probably you’re putting the code in the wrong place.

      Maybe try searching GitHub for example code, lots of people put their configs on there. Or if you post your whole config file someone can probably help

      It goes in a module inside the attrset braces where other options are also set. configuration.nix already has that.

      {
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;

  # more option definitions
}

      Actually, post your code. That way we don’t have to guess.
