9 months ago So far I've manged to associate monado with SteamVR, though I found it was far more reliable to copy the files to my home directory from the package. So far as I've yet found there is no way to automatically update the association via Nix itself.
I've also had to write my own udev rule to make it so that the headset can be initialized. (Rift S)
That said, once it's all said and done, SteamVR Fails to initialize monado due to a missing .so file, so there's that.

First of all, I am not sure if this issue is the right way to ask about my issue. Feel free to point me in the right direction for me to ask this, and close the issue if it does not meet your issue workflow.
Problem
After installing the Monado nix package, I do have the Monado softwares and drivers to use VR HMD, but I can't easily register the Monado driver onto SteamVR.
Taking a look at the Monado documentation, you can register the Monado drivers using a script that Steam offers (more information here: https://monado.freedesktop.org/steamvr.html).
Of course this script does not work under Nix OS, and I found no instructions on how to achieve this link in the Nix Monado package.
Proposal
I understand this could be a weird subject for the Monado package to address, but as using a VR HMD in SteamVR is probably the most important usage for Monado, I think that at least a written documentation would go a long way to ease the use of Monado under Nix. However I am unsure on where to put this documentation. A comment in the Monado package may be enough.
