Hi! :wave:
(First, ignore the instantiation failure, it's not any of your changes, it broke on github actions recently and I haven't looked into it)
This is a nice contribution. All Mobile desktops are welcome as a demo system.
There is one caveat, though: I'm not fond of merging what is currently a work-in-progress, but once this is provided as stable, I would like to see an example system for it, using the (future) packaging of it Nixpkgs.
So, as this is, this is a good PR for people to preview GNOME Shell on Mobile, and is basically 90% of the work to make the example system and example config for when it's released!
So I'm marking it as a draft for the moment, but only because I don't want to merge external WIP work. Though the actual packaging should be handled within Nixpkgs, once upstream has notes about how distros should handle packaging that.
