Comment on How to install Mullvad VPN on distrobox under SteamOS 3.7.13

A few options:
-
Installing in SteamOS directly - this should work, but will have to be redone every time steamOS updates. Some things like rwfus are meant to let you install things without them getting wiped, but that may or may not work. You can also create an installation script so you would just need to run a single file after a SteamOS update to restore everything.
-
Try installing through nix. The deck has nix support, and nix has both mullvad client and the mullvad cli client.
-
Just use the mullvad provided wireguard/openvpn files. In desktop they should be usable through the network manager, in game mode there’s a Decky plugin called TunnelDeck.

I think I will opt for the second solution. Nix is not installed under SteamOS 3.7, how to correctly install nix with mullvad vpn without having issues ?

I followed his instructions up to step 3 but when I typed
nix --version, it saysbash: nix : command not found. Did I make a mistake ?Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
If you didn’t see any major errors when running the previous command, then you maybe just need to restart your deck (or alternatively log out and log back in).
Especially when installing things through non-normal means, the path may not have updated for something newly installed.
