I've heard reports from some bringlings that they couldn't find the box computer at the coordinates, so if you plan to venture out there, it may not be there anymore. Nobody's shown me any evidence that they have it yet tho... Or someone sane found it and threw it away

0:57 For anyone wondering the French translation :"Alimentation" does indeed translate to food on its own, but in this context it's shorthand for "Alimentation électrique" i.e. Power supply (just french language things, really)

9:01 You are absolutely correct, you have to change the `archisolabel` to the name of your USB flash drive in the system. In fact, I wrote an article on this a while back, because it is a very common issue when booting from Hard Drive, using an EFI partition.

btw the reason why most of the holoiso's installs fail is because steamos game mode is using vulkan as a renderer and as you might guess, any gpu that doesn't support vulkan won't start game mode (also wayland is bad on old things as well)

Man, this brings back memories. I remember that when I was a kid father build a computer out of spare parts that was pretty much just a motherboard on the piece of foil inside the box.

13:23 its the intel integrated graphics. I have the same issue with nearly all variants of steamOS with my A770 and A380. If i recall i had best luck with just steamOS from valve directly. If you add a different GPU you'll likely need to re-install, or a different distro like with Bazzite having different distros for intel integrated, intel arc, AMD old, AMD new, Nvidia. And being SteamOS it will probably need to be a newer GPU, like GTX10 series, AMD RX5xx, or Intel HD630 or later

[@VaultHunterRyRy]

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to Linux or Steam OS so I'm genuinely curious. Is using Linux better for lower end spec computers because it's less taxing on the CPU/GPU? And if so does that in turn make it easier for the lower end comp. to run games because it frees up more of the CPU/GPU so the game can run better than it would on the same comp. running windows and the standard Steam program?

[@maikeru6158]

@@VaultHunterRyRyit is generally lighter than windows, but for gaming you need relatively modern hardware, at least when it comes to the gpu. It should preferably support vulkan since that’s what the directx translation layer relies upon. You can check an option to use OpenGL for that instead, but that will perform worse and isn’t guaranteed to work with everything. You can still run Linux native games since most of them use OpenGL, but not many games are native

[@Greatiblong]

I had a computer class my junior year of high school and one of the last assignments was to build our own computer case and use one of the spare computers in the classroom and I took a full-sized office desktop and put it in a tiny ass Amazon box completely self-contained. I was so extremely proud of that thing. I did stress test on it and it actually ran super cool. I think it actually had better thermals than the original case genuinely as shame they wouldn’t let me buy it off the school. 😂
