This project attempts to bring the Steam Deck's SteamOS Holo redistribution into a generic, installable format, and provide a close-to-official SteamOS experience.
Main point of this project focuses in re-implementing proprietary (as in runs-only-on-deck) components that Steam client, OS itself, gamescope and user-created applications for Deck rely on and making me learn Linux in a fun and unique way.
> No, but it may as well be 99% of the way there. Most of the code and packages, are straight from Valve, with zero possible edits, and the ISO is being built same rootfs bootstrap as all HoloISO installations run
> No. Not even questionable. If you have an NVIDIA GPU, You're on your own. Latest Valve updates for Steam client including normal and Jupiter bootstraps have broken gamepadui on NVIDIA GPUs, and if so, no support will be provided for you.
- Mostly all CPUs work fine. But people report inoperable experience on 7xxx series. (Should be working in later builds with linux-zen package included)
**WLAN/PCIe additional cards:**
- Any pre-2021 WLAN Card works fine on Valve's 5.13 Neptune kernel, but linux-zen provides support for ALL current cards
**Sound:**
- Everything mostly works fine(tm)
**GPU:**
- AMD GPUs with RADV support (Guaranteed to work fully stable. 7xxx requires testing)
- NVIDIA GPUs (Unfunctional, but might work. No support will be provided to you, don't ask about it)
- Flash the ISO from [releases](https://github.com/bhaiest/holoiso/releases/latest) using [BalenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/), [Rufus](https://rufus.ie) with DD mode, or by typing `sudo dd if=SteamOS.iso of=/dev/sd(your flash drive) bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync`, or by simply throwing ISO into Ventoy drive
Upon booting, you'll be greeted with Steam Deck's OOBE screen, from where you'll connect to your network, and login to your Steam account, from there, you can exit to KDE Plasma seamlessly by choosing *Switch to desktop* in the power menu, [like so](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smfwna2iHho).
