For the record. SteamOS is a highly specialized linux distro for entertainment purposes and not much else. If you still want a good Linux OS, you want a full Linux distro, like mint.
except arch linux is better in every way, since on arch you have access to the aur service that other linux distros dont have access to, aur is alot better as it has more packages and more upto date things, theres also alot better distros then mint, mint is kinda awful as its based on ubuntu, so why use mint when you can just use ubuntu or bazzite os/debian based system. each their own i guess but theres far better linux distros then mint/ubuntu though highly recommend trying out different ones as they all function the same except some are ligher weight and less resources then others.
same boat... I have a rog asus laptop, and it boots just fine to install. then once it finishes... it boots to a black screen with the (-) and I can't even type coz it deletes itself super fast :( I do have a deck tho... lol but I wanted to test on the laptop first
Hey mate. I saw your Laptop is using a dedicated nvidia graphics card (3050ti). Were you able to use the graphics card for games in steamOS? Or could you only use the integrated AMD graphics card? I would appreciate a answer! Since I have a similar Laptop build with AMD CPU, iGPU and dedicated nvidia GPU.
I've tried multiple times. but current newest installer looks way different. all goes well then after reboot it cant find bootable device. I've never had issues like this. I've installed loads of os's including redstar os lol. but this is frustrating
holoiso install success then i remove pendrive and after starting my pc then give me Black screen please help do i need ethernet cable or anything else?
Nice easy to follow vid man thank you !! As for anyone asking yes you can run this on a partition look up linux partition installation and dual boot if you want that its not hard to do
Typically with Linux distros, one types the command 'startx' and press (do not type the ' marks). If all is set up, it should load a GUI. If not, you get an error message and then get to learn about drivers and reading the /var/log/message file for what might have gone wrong.

I dont think people are aware that STEAMOS is downloadable to PC. I've done it; however, i ran into issues. I did not have a hard drive with empty space to boot to. Unfortunately, the .ISO i chose was the "Automatic version." It couldn't find available space sonit installed on my 32 gb flashdrive.... 😢
i did everything like you in your video. When i boot the USB Stick i only see: "EFI Shell" and "Boot into Firmware Interface" Wich means i am missing "HoloISO Installer (Copy-to-RAM)" and "HoloISO Installer" Did i miss something? And to be honest i have no clue whats insinde my Laptop because a friend gave it to me becuase he doesnt need it anymore. Any way yo can help me?
Go to BIOS settings, and set the boot device as USB STICK and restart. It has to boot into SteamOS. Otherwise you need to recreate a bootable USB again. Try ventoy method too.
stuck on verifying step before boot into steamos. Been at this for 5 hours looking for a fix.. seems like many people have had this issue.. I can’t seem to find a working fix.
When I run the installer, I get to that EFI boot selector screen, I select HoloIso and the Steam Deck Logo shows, and it gets stuck on that until I shut off the computer, any way to fix this? I noticed you are using Update 1.0, and that the dev on HoloIso actually removed NVIDIA drivers on one of the latest updates, and updated the prerequisites to only AMD hardware, I am trying to install on a i5-7400. I tried downloading the older 1.0 update, but the download link is no longer working. Do you happen to have the files or know how to download the older files?
The OS itself is official, but it's made specifically only for the Steam Deck's hardware. The community took HoloISO and made it compatible with non-Steam Deck hardware. However, last time I checked, it only works on AMD hardware (CPU & GPU), since that's the hardware brand the Deck has
@@kskroyaltech i have issue with installation:[] I have already make a 60gb unlocated space to install it alongside windows 10 on one partition after choosing nvme01 it selected 15kb space instead of 60gb So do you know how to choose the a specific part using terminal?

Attempt to plug in your display into the motherboard and not the GPU. If it works, then there is an issue with NVIDIA support. Install the OS using the integrated graphics then install NVIDIA drivers later in the plasma interface. If you are still having issues, then you may need to install another OS like the user above suggested.
This doesn’t work…mine is stuck on black screen…I can see the “steam login:” but can’t do anything with that…next time make sure you test this thoroughly
This installation failed even on a generic Intel CPU (no Nvidia). If you want Steam just install a Debian based distro or Arch if you are more familiar with Linux and ditch these hot garbage OSes.
It's not an official OS for PC by ValvE. The community has merely taken the OS and made it compatible with hardware that isn't the Steam Deck, since HoloISO is made specifically only for the Deck's hardware. At the same time, the only hardware this OS will work on is AMD (CPU & GPU), since that's the hardware the Deck uses
why calling it steamos while its holoiso copy of steamdesk ui os it has nothing to do with original steamos that you can download from steam site itself ?
Thank you, random Indian man from RUclips. You really are the saviour when it comes to random tech tutorials.
You are most welcome
If it's verified by Valve they should just make their own Operating Systems to work similar to Windows which would be nice.
For the record. SteamOS is a highly specialized linux distro for entertainment purposes and not much else. If you still want a good Linux OS, you want a full Linux distro, like mint.
But there is no need to fiddle with drivers . Its just plug and play
