Recovery process required multiple steps:
- Disabled failed swap mount from SteamOS partition in hardware-configuration.nix
- Established network connectivity in emergency mode for Jovian packages
- Separated boot loader config from configuration.nix into hardware-configuration.nix
- Remounted root and /nix/store with write permissions
- Rebuilt system with working network connection
Added documentation and recovery tools:
- Network recovery procedures and scripts
- Filesystem troubleshooting guides
- Common issues and solutions for Steam Deck NixOS
- Prevention strategies for future issues
The system now boots successfully into GUI environment. Documentation and
scripts are available under documentation/ to assist with similar recovery
scenarios in the future.
