Oddly enough I was just talking to some friends about my plan for the Steam Deck and my confusion on its update process - since the source code showed both partition image updates and pacman updates.
My day 1 goal is to get the system working with tailscale and games over NFS. Second is getting that managed by home-manager as a OK workaround for the A/B update system.
The long term project is to get the stock OS recreated in NixOS. Testing the system using a newer kernel for better Btrfs and Zen performance and faster gamescope (Wayland micron compositor) updates seems like a really interesting project.
- yepguy 4y agoYou'll probably find this interesting if you haven't seen it yet. Work has already started on getting NixOS usable on the Steam Deck here[1]. [1]: https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS
- KingMachiavelli 4y agoYea I did notice that and it's where I have started building on. Between Jovian and HoloISO a lot the the SteamOS internal workings are fairly well documented. It's always amazing how fast the OSS community moves.
