All available module options along with their descriptions can be found under modules.

To use the Steam Deck UI, set jovian.steam.enable = true; in your configuration. This will only enable the Steam Deck UI tooling. To enable "desktop" steam, enable the usual NixOS options. Then you can start the UI using one of the following methods:

• (preferred) Use jovian.steam.autoStart = true; to auto-start at login, and enabling use of Switch to Desktop option.
• Select "Gaming Mode" in the Display Manager or run start-gamescope-session in a VT.
• Launch gamescope-session within an existing desktop session. This will run gamescope in nested mode which results in higher latency.

If you want Switch to Desktop to switch to another session with autoStart, you will need to configure jovian.steam.desktopSession. Configure it with the name of the X11 or Wayland session of your choosing. The Switch to Desktop option will not work with the other two methods of running the Steam Deck UI, instead it will close Steam.
