WHat Hardware have you tried this on so far, and did it work?

[@RealziesCuts]

Texas Instruments calculator is the only thing in my current budget

[@RealziesCuts]

My seven-year-old motherboard has a GTX 970 on it with 16 gigs ram DDR3 🧙‍♂️ is this gonna work on that?

[@Fareke2]

I wanted to try it in virtualbox but it said no bootable media for some reason. I have also put it on my ventoy usb drive with same issue.

[@justinworley6538]

If I used a 3200g CPU to get holoiso and paired it with a rx580 would that get better performance or even work at all. was considering make a small itx with some spair parts

[@bountoj]

I just installed Pop-Os on a used surface pro 4. Even got the touchscreen to "work". I kinda want to install this on it lol.

[@fabiosarrica379]

ETA, I think you should install this on a mini pc and make a "console" out of it! I feel like that is a great use for Steam OS. Like the steam machine that never was

[@seguramlk]

Agreed

[@gordface]

and then maybe use emudeck to setup emulation if it works on hardware other than the deck (i dont see why it wouldnt). Love the content!

[@JohnWeland]

I would love to see this on a powerful PC and then some sort of Steam Link over 2.5Gb Ethernet but a Steam Link that uses the newer UI as well.

[@BahhBahhBrownSheep]

@@gordface EmuDeck is really messy and annoying, it's MUCH better to do it manually. Edit: if you want to use it, go ahead. It's just using a whole slew of emulators from sources I personally dislike, in folder arrangements that make no sense and have zero organization, and it leaves things all over the OS with no explanation. It's really not worth your time.

HP Elitedesk that one that you posted a while back there was a bunch on ebay. I was not able to install on a partition nor an external drive it didnt see them. Once I formatted the extra partition in Windows the holo install saw it but gave errors about it being in use and I should reboot. Tried that twice. I then sacerficed my windows install and chose the full nvme drive like in the video. After that it would come to what looked like a booted os but it was black and squished the mouse worked and would turn into a hand in the corners. I eventually powered it off. On power up it did some updates and back to the same screen. Powered off and on again. This time back at the update screen but this time all the text was boxes. I powered off and booted up one last time before giving up and reinstalling windows and this time it worked. I think perhaps it was because of my 4k screen not sure but it was able to sort itself out in the end. Would still like to dual-boot it through.

Those wifi SSIDs got a couple good chuckles out of me.

[@polymatrix]

Installed this on my custom desktop: Ryzen 7 1700, ASUS B350 Prime, 32GB Corsair DDR4, 500GB WD Green M.2, Sapphire RX580 8GB, generic USB-BT module, ASUS AC-88 PCI-e WiFi, Razer Basilisk wired mouse, Keychron K2 BT keyboard. WiFi doesn't work because the drivers aren't part of the Linux kernel (I didn't expect it to). Bluetooth works great for my Xbox wireless (One S style, BT) & Keychron keyboard. RX580 graphics work well, but I haven't seen them beat Windows 10 native graphics yet (I've only tested 3 games, all via proton none for any native Linux games). Even though I have a 165Hz monitor SteamOS only seems to be able to output to 144Hz, and so far no game has broken 60FPS even though I have he SteamOS frame cap off. Heroic Game Launcher installed for GOG games, which can be added to Steam as a "game" which allows for any games launched from HGL to have the Steam FPS overlay. Overall impressed with it so far, going to put some more time into it over the coming days.

I don't really wanna use windows at all.

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

Question first, then explanation: Can I install the Steam OS within a Windows environment so that, when I boot up Steam, it will be the Deck-style Steam OS instead of the standard Steam OS I'd normally be installing? In other words, not REPLACING Windows, but rather installing it as a "program" of sorts to be accessed from WITHIN Windows? (More:) The reason I ask is this: I have the Steam Deck and I love it, but I have loads of preexisting PC games that for one reason or another don't want to work well within the official Deck OS. One good example is Dead By Daylight, which I actually own THROUGH Steam, but which cannot normally be played on the Deck because its third party anticheat program prevents it. So, I got a 1TB micro SD card, installed Windows on it, and now have that game and dozens more on the card. I can choose to either boot into the Steam Deck OS, where all my official Steam games and emulators are, or my micro SD card, which is a Windows environment and thus runs everything through Windows. So here's the thing: Since I still have need for Steam to be installed on the Windows card, I would love for that version of Steam to be Steam 3, the nice one that comes installed on the Deck and not the more stripped down and basic version of Steam that one would normally download within Windows. Is there any way I can get Steam 3 onto my Windows card, performing more or less like a regular executable, or is it mandatory that Steam OS be the actual operating environment of the card itself?

really love your video's and greatly influenced my decision recently to get an UM690. It arrived this week and i set it up with the 5600 Mhz RAM and trying things out now. There are a few games that dont run properly under windows (borderlands 3 for instance) and i am keen to try Steam OS. However, rather than throwing out my current windows installation i would prefer to run SteamOS as a dual boot, either on a second partition on the M.2 drive, or on a secondary drive i can install in the UM690. Before i go there however, i wanted to try running SteamOS from an external drive / USB. I've seen you do this on your other video's and it looked very cool. However, i cant find anything anywhere explaining how i make install SteamOS onto a USB drive. I keep getting stuff telling me how to make an installation USB for SteamOS.

Is it too much to ask if you can do something like comparing steam os vs other linux distros on the same hardware? I'm currently using Linux Mint now. Been contemplating lately if I'll try steamos given I've been playing games from my steam library under linux for weeks now. Just wondering if there is something I would gain switching to a dedicated gaming linux os.

[@mathisblair2798]

In my experience friend; as SteamOS is built on Arch Linux. You can pretty much install all that comes with steam os anyways. I think something the steam OS adds that you might not have with a distro is stuff like the "sleep" feature with games. (Idk can you do that in mint already and power on and be right back in game?) But if you have the ability to play your games and such I'd argue that its not really needed in your case.

[@miguelangellayna3153]

Vs manjaro and vs dragonized edition

[@alejandroglfm]

@@mathisblair2798 Nonono, isn't just "sleep", it's about it's built in compositor called gamescope, this thing is such a crazy software and all gamers should be using it right now. And not only that, Holo ISO runs gamescope on "embedded" mode which means that it pushes as much as it cans to use all the power on the hardware without loosing anything on services or background processes

[@PixelShade]

I think the primary benefit is that you get an arch-based OS, latest drivers, latest features (you could install Manjaro which is a user-friendly version of Arch). With Steam OS you gain the ease of use while gaming (like toggling FSR on and off, changing refreshrate/framerate etc.) However the way SteamOS is currently set up, it focuses on "gaming first", meanwhile desktop and productivity is more of a side activity. You could always buy a really fast SD-card (an A2-class card like the Samsung Evo Plus) and basically keep your OS for productivity and then boot SteamOS from the SD-card for gaming. I would have it setup that the computer prioritize the SD-card during boot. that way you can choose if you want to "game" or be "productive" by inserting or removing the SD-Card during boot.

[@ForOdinAndAsgard]

Steam OS 3 is build on Arch so it will work the same as let's say Manjaro KDE with the Steam client installed. Mint will be different as it is build on Debian.

Did not work on a GTX 970 system (Ryzen 3 1200 CPU). It seems the (3rd) option to select NVIDIA does not install proper modules for the kernel. This was the case with Ubuntu/ Solus/ etc. updates 2-3 years back, so it should have been tested by the HoloISO team before adding "NVIDIA 9xx+" promptly. We cannot apply the same fixes as earlier because gamescope is not X11. Lots of issues reported for NVIDIA on the git forum. We need to wait a few more releases (NVIDIA did release some of their code as open source recently) for the green side to jump in.

With these great handhelds I think the next step is trying to find a steam deck to fit in your pocket. I've complained about this already but I really want like a phone with integrated gamepad. A steam deck that can fit in your pocket would be amazing

That's what the aya neo air is gonna be pretty much

@@pghj100 Ayn loki is going to be simmilar but I prefer the Odin because it has a good battery life and makes sense to travel with it.

[@RandomPlaceHolderName]

@@pghj100 aya neo air/odin/loki aren't what I'd call pocketable. They're smaller than the deck but still too big to pocket, approx switch lite sized.

Love the wifi connect

[@JoshieKona]

Dang! Was hoping this would have worked on my GPS Win1

Love your neighbor's list of wifi networks lol

Hi ETA PRIME .. will this work on my machine? i7 3770 GT 1030 2GB gddr5 16gb ram 4x4 (1333mhz only) 250gb ssd (crucial mx500) + 500 very old slow hdd Im a new subscriber, i havent tried any OS for pc aside from windows 7 and 10 And i want to turn my pc into a console. I got optiplex 3010 sff and xbox360 controllers :) Or should i just use steam big picture?

[@dammitcooper]

How are you getting HoloISO to installed and boot right with the win600? I can't go beyond the boot starting. Once I need to add the wifi command, I can't do anything to type it in

[@rinzler1242]

i might try this on my HP X360 Envy, but cpu is older than those they talk about... Not sure if it will give better performance over w10 HP X360 Envy 13" Ryzen 2500U 8gb Ram 256go ssd

[@CombinationGamerFireskull]

I have an 2017 MacBook Pro with the screen removed, that I would like to use for steam in home streaming to my bedroom, do you have any idea if I can get a steam os type of interface to stream my games?

[@Vypros19]

I tried to dual boot with windows, even using different drives for each OS, but failed. In my case when I get to the recovery session and choose SteamOS, it shows me the message: "failed to start jupiter bios update service" and it stops there. Any idea what am I doing wrong? I got a Ryzen5 3600, Msi b450 Tomahawk and a Radeon Rx470 gpu.

[@ash_Psyyyy]

i actually always connect my lenovo legion 7 to my 4k tv so this is definitely a plus in my book but my laptop has a rtx2070 as the GPU does holoiso support that GPU?

[@IRWPD]

That is cool this can be done on other devices.

[@CanalDojogames]

Thank you very much

[@seanbrisson7928]

Theoricly , holoiso would work if i would to install it onto my SteamDeck right? Like i could use This for both my PC's and my steam deck for recovery if anything happens right?

[@Miguel_Noether]

Will you test the OS on more powerful gamer laptops ?

[@amer3h]

THX . IS this system support emulators or other gamer outside steam ??

[@GamingAndRCs]

Why does it say it cant find a matching file in this zip archive?

[@kennethwillis8339]

ETA Prime...I just installed ChimeraOS due to problems installing Holoiso due to having a NVIDIA GPU. Could you please do a video on ChimeraOS? It is currently working on my Gaming Laptop.

[@RealziesCuts]

Thank you for this helpful hump day information ℹ️ 🛋🦍 Give me another project to do I just need a laptop 💻 💫

[@drgauravsuneja]

I have pc Core i5 4590T NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2Gb DDR5 ram 8gb ddr3 system ram 2tb hdd Alienware alpha Do you think installing steam os will be lighter on system and i can run game with little bit of tweaking in 1080p 30fps medium setting. Any idea?

[@Waifu4Life]

Can you make a tutorial on how to install the new holoiso-staging version (he previous version got discontinued). I can boot in the preview version from my USB Key, but after installing and rebooting, it gets stuck every time. Cheers.

[@pol44r]

Same, i get a black screen and thats jt

[@Milan5605]

and chuwi larkbox or lattepanda?Question - can i add my steam library like in windows version?
