Description
Hi, I'm trying to run this on Bazzite 41. The current installation method requires installing nix. As far as I can tell, nix must be installed to /nix, which is not writeable on my system. I found this guide but it requires using a separate shell to access anything installed through it. I tested installing through Distrobox but SteamVR couldn't detect it. Not sure if there's any special settings I need to set to make it work.
How would I go about installing this on Bazzite? Thanks.

Research direction
Review the current Nix installation method, the linked nix-user-chroot guide, and the Distrobox setup described in the issue. Reproduce the Bazzite 41 installation and verify SteamVR detection; done means documenting a supported path that works without requiring a writable /nix path.
