Isn’t that essentially what fedora Silverblue is?

It’s an immutable desktop OS where everything is ran in flatpaks/podman pods for the most part and it’s actually a really great experience.

Can play stellaris on steam with it for example with no issue.

I have never heard of this (until now). Thank you! I've been loving NixOS so I hope it's easy to build the world like that. :-)

No problem! I love it so much - it’s really simple. One thing I’d recommend is if you use vs code - to set it’s built in interpreter to use the toolbox:

Specifically the “vscodium in a flatpak” (also of course works with the Microsoft version vscode )
