I am having a bit of a brain freeze here but I would like to install pandoc but I don’t want to disable the default steam deck settings to do so even though using pacman on the command line would be way simpler I don’t want to fiddle if I don’t have to fiddle.

https://pandoc.org/

Can I not just download a binary and point Linux towards it? I know this is a silly question but frustratingly I am more familiar with how you are supposed to do this on windows with the $home variable nonsense.

    It works about the same as any other non-NixOS system running a user install of Nix.

    nix-env -i neovim

    You could also choose to enable and use more advanced features like flakes, but I would suggest not doing that unless you want to dive into the Nix ecosystem.
