Introducing pinokio-with-user-nix

This is an installer for Pinokio centered towards Immutable Linux systems (Steam Deck, Bazzite...) that creates a single directory (~/nix) that installs a ~1GB NixOS environment setup with an up-to-date Pinokio! And you can pretty much run it on any Linux distribution! The script creates a declarative nix environment within your user account using home-manager, flakes, and nix-user-chroot, and after all is set up, it then installs Pinokio! See installation video below:
