Jovian NixOS is a set of Nix packages and NixOS modules for running NixOS on the Steam Deck. It also provides a Steam Deck-like experience on other x86_64 devices.
Use cases
- install nixos on a steam deck
- run steam deck gaming experience on generic x86_64 hardware
- declaratively configure a steam deck with nix
- use nixos as a handheld gaming pc os
- get steam deck drivers and session on nixos
When to choose
- you want a reproducible, declarative Linux setup on a Steam Deck
- you want Steam Deck-like gaming features on other x86_64 NixOS machines
- you are already comfortable with NixOS and Nix
When to avoid
- you want an out-of-the-box OS without learning Nix
- you need SteamOS itself or its exact vendor-supported environment
- your device is ARM-based or otherwise not x86_64
