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.

    What do you mean it fails to boot? Do you just get to a blank screen?

    I installed it a few days ago to try it out, and had the same issues, but that was due to me having an nvidia card, i used the “HoloISO experimental gpu” release (it was called aomething like that) and that solved that issue, still had graphical issues but i was able to use it at least

    If the drive doesn’t show up as a bootable option in the bios, i had that isue too and solved it by installing it to a secondary harddrive (the primary was available after booting and was working well, so not sure what that was all about)

      This exactly. Seems it still has a ton of issues with Nvidia cards.

      I’ll try that version today, see if I can have the same results.
