I might sound stupid, but I cant find the lastest stable realease. Could someone help?

I'm talking about the new immutable version. How stable are the updates? Is everything open source? Should I switch from Chimeraos to this? I used Bazzite in the past but there were applications and games that didn't work.

How many people contribute to this project? How secure is it? How can we be sure that account information will not be stolen in the future?

hi there!

I have been running holoiso for a while and love it, but there have been some issues that have cropped up and I decided that it was time for a reinstall to the newest version.

I successfully downloaded the latest version, 20240901 (and the previous version, 20240603), but everytime I boot the usb, I get 'Failed to load ldlinux.c32'

I wrote the image with rufus, balena, even ventoy, and it always give the same issue.

Rufus seems to have downloaded, and the logs say that the files for ldlinux.bss and .sys are installed to the drive. I have even tried dropping in the files manually into the drive to get it to work.

When I replace the ldlinux.c32, I do get another error, 'No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!' with boot: providing some basic terminal possibilities, but no real directive.

For reference, I am not new to the various flavors of Linux, but this one certainly has me stumped.

Has anyone else seen this, or can point to a tutorial for fixing?

Also as my search here didn't provide any hints for ldlinux errors, hopefully this is not some random error...

For posterity: AMD 5700x3d, 64gb ddr4, Radeon 5700xt, WDBlack 1tb NVME OS drive, Patriot 1tb NVME games drive, and Samsung Evo 4tb SATA storage drive, Asus TUF x470-Plus Gaming mobo.

Worked nearly perfectly for the last 18 months, runs great, played almost all my games, looking forward to upgrade and continuing the journey.

So I had an Idea, Is there actually a way that Holoiso would run on ATI Radeon 5400. If there theoretically is a way, how to make something like this?

I have a computer with an intel cpu and a nvidia gpu and I know that holo iso doesn't support it however there is a tweaked version online that claims to. But when I installed it the first time it would constantly reboot so I reinstalled. Now it doesn't even boot and instead gets to where it starts cpu scheduler and doesn't move from there. It isn't crashing because there is a blinking bar at the bottom but it doesn't do anything else. I'm going to try bazzite but any help with this would be appreciated!

Also i cant find the iso

boots to a black screen msi 1080 motherboard

I am trying to install holoiso on my pc, I have run the installer and it said th reboot but after I rebooted it now only shows a menu with uefi boot options, steam os and steam os advanced, after this it is a black screen. Does anyone know what to do?

Ive install holoiso, and I keep running into a black screen on boot. My question is do I need a dedicated GPU or can a integrated GPU work? The CPU I'm using is a intel i7 Coffee Lake 8th Gen. I'm not trying to play anything on it, I'm just wanting it to boot to play around with.

Just got Holo-iso working on my external ssd, but there seems to be no way to make it boot to desktop-mode on startup.

Hi, anyone knows how to bypass this error, says 'pkexec must be setuid root' error 127 right after adding credentials in the initial install.

I keep getting the error that job control is turned off I’ve tried to different usb sticks I’ll attach a photo

Is there any way to install holoiso to just a partition instead of the whole drive? Im very new to linux so im sorry if this seems like a dumb question but holoiso straight up doesnt give me an option to install to just the partition it wants to wipe the whole drive

As the title says. The D-Pad, buttons or analog sticks work, but you have to press them down for a second or two for it to register. Doesn’t happen in Windows. Any suggestions??

So i have the same problem this guy has 2 years ago with his onexplayer: https://www.reddit.com/r/holoiso/comments/z3zo6k/installed_on_onexplayer_with_6800u_and_display_is/

I tried following the solution there but not only are almost none of the lines referenced in the solution in the Gamescope-session file there, trying to save any edits causes an error saying that I dont have write access. I do not even get prompted for the sudo password. Any ideas?

Is this even posible? has anyone tryit before?

Hey guys! I’m new to this stuff! I recently got gifted a Chromebook with holoiso installed on it, it’s really buggy and I was wondering if there was a way to uninstall it off the Chromebook.

hardware: intel i7-4790k amd rx6700xt LG G1 OLED tv

I have had the issue as stated in title for several months now, it seems to only happen to games that support HDR when HDR is enabled in gamemode settings.

There isn't an open issue on the github that expressly addresses this issue, however there is a report that seems related (and may have been caused by the same circumstances without anyone realizing) HERE: https://github.com/HoloISO/issuetracker/issues/47

(regularly encountered error message when HDR is enabled: "Assertion failed! dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c line: 3226 Expression: !status && vkCreateSwapchainKHR") (otherwise the game just crashes immediately after boot with no message)

Does anyone have some insight into this? I really like HoloISO for how close it is in experience, and under the hood, to SteamOS. I would really like to be able to play my games in HDR though. Don't really want to distro hop to something else if i can help it. Hope it can be, or gets, fixed

So, i really want to install SteamOS on my device, i like the UI very much and it seems a lot faster than the Big Picture one. I booted the pendrive and now i'm trying to install it without wiping my whole Hard Drive. Does someone know how to do it?

I don't know why it is black screening after I install holoiso. It is an upgraded hp workstation z220, I have only changed the cpu (an i5 2400), ram (12gb ddr3)and the HDD(1tb) can anyone tell me why it is staying on a black screen?

I already selected EFI but when it gets installed, It doesn't boot, just a black screen, HoloISO 1.3

So I installed holoiso 1.3 from desktop , after this I got popup that says I need to reboot. So I rebooted my pc, but I got into bios and there were no boot options What should I do?

Of almost 2 thousand people I have seen 5 reply to anyone with a question I don't get it

specs for those who needs em: CPU: Intel i7-870 (1st gen) GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 (6Gb) RAM: 16Gb DDR3 RAM

Forgive my ignorance, I am 2 days new to Linux / HoloISO. I finally decided to take the leap away from Windows spyware OS and have tried a few different distros but ended up here because it has the perfect balance between still being able to game out of the box with no hassle, but also a solid desktop experience for productivity.

My only issue is I wish there was an option to default boot into desktop mode. It appears to be possible, but the only solutions I see popping up in my searches is "steamos-session-select plasma-persistent" in command which does not appear to be working anymore.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all. I am using HoloISO on my PC. (I know it's not the best but I prefer it). RDR2 and Insurgency Sandstorm do not load. RDR2 goes to the shotgun loading screen and just freezes my PC. Any help? Been trying to fix it for days. Other games work great. Just these two.

I have a GTX 1050ti, and Intel i3 4th gen (don't remember specific model) and I installed this fork of HoloISO https://github.com/zweiler2/HoloISO_Tweaked as I was told it would work with my gpu, it does but if it's not in desktop mode the mouse needs to be moving or the screen turns off, I'm also not a Linux guy so I don't know anything about drivers, I don't know if I have them or not or how to install them, but it does not run fast at all in gaming mode, games run fine. Any help would be appreciated.
