- jeroenhd 4y agoIs that the modern (Steam Deck) version? The page you linked says it's based on Debian 8 while the modern iteration is Arch based.
- cassianoleal 4y agoThat's the non-Deck one. Very close to the top of the page there's this: > NOTE: This image is not compatible with Steam Deck. If you are looking for the Steam Deck Recovery image, visit this link. Where the link points to https://help.steampowered.com/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3 https://help.steampowered.com/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3 I'm not sure if the Steam Deck image can be installed on a non-Deck system.
- jeroenhd 4y agoMy attempts at getting the Steam Deck version to work all failed. You can get the software installed but on reboot the system just seems to freeze. I'm guessing it's waiting for some kind of hardware dependent driver or service to load that isn't available in a virtual machine.
- simjnd 4y agoHoloISO [1] is as close as you can get to SteamOS 3 until Steam ships the official version. From the README : "Is this official? No, but it may as well be 99% of the way there. The code and packages, are straight from Valve, with zero possible edits, and the ISO is being built on the official Steam Deck recovery image, running inside a QEMU instance." You can watch it run on a variety of hardware on YouTube. [1]: https://github.com/theVakhovskeIsTaken/holoiso https://github.com/theVakhovskeIsTaken/holoiso
