Yes, it can be loaded in X11 in all system distributions and operating
systems I know, but that it can be loaded for tty is rare. Most system
for tty are limited to qwert{y,z} and some layouts where neo draws
inspiration from.
It's a layout specific to german keyboards and language but extends to
other areas (scientic etc): http://neo-layout.org/index_en.html
It can be loaded with `setxkbmap neo` or the desktop environment
specific tool of it.
I just need to figure out what nix patches or adds to make it available
with `loadkeys neo` outside of X11.
