 # better-xcloud-nix

+A Nix flake providing a standalone Chromium wrapper for Better xCloud.
+
+## Current State
+Functional. The flake builds a shell script wrapper that deploys a pre-configured Chromium profile and launches the browser with required extensions.
+
+## Versions
+* **Nixpkgs**: nixos-unstable
+* **Violentmonkey**: v2.49.0 (Manifest V3)
+* **Better xCloud**: v6.7.12 (State saved within `preferences.tar.gz`)
+
+## How It Works
+1. The flake uses `fetchzip` to download the Violentmonkey extension release.
+2. `writeShellScriptBin` generates the executable wrapper script.
+3. Upon execution, the script checks for the existence of `$HOME/.config/better-xcloud-wrapper`.
+4. If the profile directory is missing, it extracts the local `preferences.tar.gz` archive into this path. This archive contains the required browser settings, Violentmonkey configuration, and the installed Better xCloud userscript.
+5. The script executes Chromium, passing the downloaded extension via `--load-extension` and the extracted profile via `--user-data-dir`. This isolates the application from your primary browser state.
