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.
