Starting with SteamOS 3.6, files in /etc are now preserved on a whitelist (with files not in it moved to /etc/previous). Currently as of this beta these nix-related files are not kept:

  • /etc/profile.d/nix.sh
  • /etc/fish/conf.d/nix.fish
  • /etc/nix/
  • /etc/systemd/system/nix-daemon.socket (the .service is kept)
  • /etc/tmpfiles.d/nix-daemon.conf

A file can be created inside /etc/atomic-update.conf.d/ to keep these on updates.

Since 3.6 is a beta, the default list might change, so it might be a good idea to wait and see first.

Testing again, it also needs to preserve these files which were removed following an OS update:

  • /etc/bashrc
  • /etc/zsh/zshrc
  • /etc/zshrc
