While I agree that Nix is not user friendly, Nix would allow more hack-ability than the current Arch approach.
The Steamdeck modifications often get broken in updates, because the Steamdeck software is an image that is managed by Valve. Meanwhile, with Nix I think it would be easier to maintain modifications, as you could layer them on top of each other.
Also, most Steamdeck users:
- Don’t modify their Steamdeck
- Use Flatpak, which works on Nix
- Run an install script from the internet, such as DeckyLoader, Emudeck. Which often break with updates.
