## What it is
Mobile NixOS is a Nix-based layer that lets you build and configure NixOS for mobile devices such as phones and tablets. It provides device-specific modules and a shared configuration framework for running a full Linux system on handheld hardware.

## Use cases
- install nixos on an android phone
- build a custom linux image for my mobile device
- run phosh on a pinephone with nix
- declaratively configure a mobile linux phone
- port nixos to a new phone model
- create a reproducible mobile linux build

## When to choose
- you already use Nix/NixOS and want the same declarative model on a phone
- you want reproducible, source-driven builds for supported mobile devices
- you are porting or experimenting with Linux on handheld hardware

## When to avoid
- you want a polished, plug-and-play mobile OS with broad device support
- your device is not in the supported list and you cannot write device modules
- you need Android apps or the Android ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: experimental
- function: infrastructure-as-code, configuration-management, deployment, developer-tools
- domain: operating-systems, mobile-development, self-hosted, embedded-systems
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: nix, nixos, mobile-linux, phone, phosh, linux-distribution, reproducible-builds, linux, mobile
