If you download a binary you can just steam-run
it and it just works
?
This command will just run an executable file on nix. Normally only executables which are installed from the package manager will work.
appimage-run
is another option. Which can be used to run, you guessed it, appimages
But appimages will complain about unmet dependencies, so usually they don't work
I haven't had any issues thus far. But I have not used a lot of appimages. Usually I can find everything in nixpkgs, and those that I didn't all worked with appimages.
