Hey, recently decided to branch out and try holoiso. As a big fan of my steam deck, I really want to try this out.

I flashed the img onto a flash drive, and everything seemed fine, had a few issues installing it, it would fail seemingly randomly. But retrying it would succeed, there was never any fail code or anything.

After installing ot, it fails to boot. Secure boot is off, uefi is on, everything is saying it should work.

All that being said, I’m very new to arch Linux and the many variations, so I may have missed something simple. I can provide further details upon request, since I’m sure I missed stuff.

    manjaro is quite similar to the steamdeck os if you use KDE. That has the benefits of being on a popular distro.

      I tried KDE Neon, and I like it but I broke it in seconds after installing Nvidia drivers, would manjaro be more stable do you think?

        If you want a more stable os, kubuntu lts. It makes installing nvidia drivers pretty straightforward.

          I’ll try them both out.

          The more I look into everything, the more Nvidia cards look like a pain.
