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???

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.
