After a while of no updates to the actual ISO download of HoloISO, the creator of this SteamOS-like Linux distribution has announced the original is now dead. As it's being replaced by the newer immutable HoloISO.

    What we really need is for valve to put out an official steamOS image so other manufacturers can actually put it on their machines

      Can’t really blame them for not giving up the secret sauce competitive advantage 🤷

      Other companies are free to put together their own thing with steam and proton

        Isn’t the secret sauce already available, with the issue being that it’s not adapted to run on a wider range of devices? I had the impression HoloISO was just that, but as a community project - putting in all the work to make it installable on various devices (and work correctly)

          AFAIK, the only publicly available build is an outdated image based on debian instead of arch and not really worth running due to its state.

            Right, but are the sources all available? You probably wouldn’t want to be using the same build for your one device with different hardware, so the question is, do you have what it takes to put the system together yourself?
