+## Overview
+
+ProjT Launcher supports multiple Linux packaging formats to reach different user bases and distribution requirements.
+
+---
+
+## Packaging Formats
+
+### Nix / NixOS
+
+The recommended method for reproducible builds.
+
+**Location**: `nix/`, `flake.nix`
+
+```sh
+# Build
+nix build .#projtlauncher
+
+# Run without installing
+nix run .#projtlauncher
+
+# Development shell
+nix develop
+```
+
+See [nix.md](./nix.md) for detailed instructions.
+
+### Flatpak
+
+Sandboxed application format.
+
+**Location**: `docs/packaging/os-specific/linux/flathub/`
+
+The Flatpak manifest is maintained separately for Flathub submission.
+
