I installed NixOS + Jovian on my Steamdeck and it works great as well.
- GardenLetter27 11mo agoNix support is built-in to SteamOS already btw, I used that to set up Ship of Harkinian for example.
- s0l1dsnak3123 11mo agoCould you elaborate? Does steamOS ship the nix binary & mountpoints?
- MrDrMcCoy 11mo agoIIRC, the nix package manager can run entirely user-level on any distro. It doesn't ship on the Deck, but it's the same process there as anywhere else.
- GardenLetter27 11mo agoI meant they have set up the Nix directory so you can write to it without having to mess around with bind mounts, overlayfs, etc. because the system is normally read-only. So all you have to do is install Nix as a user.
