Description
As of SteamOS 3.6, only files under
/etc
specifically allowed are persisted during system updates.The Determinate Systems installer has a Planner target for the Steam Deck, and performs the Nixpkgs setup as a multi-user installation. However, it does not currently create the allowlist needed for the install to survive system updates and breaks as a result.
This PR adds in this allowlist for the Determinate Systems installer as helpfully defined in this comment on NixOS/nix#7173.
