Could you build this?
No Porting Valve's proprietary SteamVR compositors and sessions to run under NixOS on specialized hardware (Steam Frame) demands deep Linux graphics stack, driver, and kernel-level expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires custom NixOS modules, kernel patching for proprietary display hardware/XR tracking, integration with Valve's gamescope/SteamVR compositor, and specialized Wayland protocol extensions. Engineers need expertise in Linux graphics subsystems (DRM/KMS, Vulkan, OpenXR), reverse-engineering hardware drivers, and low-latency XR rendering pipelines.
