Would learning how to install arch help me install steamOS?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

You can't install steamos, as it's not availble as an iso with an installer. Holo iso is an unoffiial installer for steamos

Installing arch nowadays is not complex at all, there is the command archinstall, so it's just a meme now. If you are somewhat familiar with computers and linux, and don't call someone a "haxor" just for using a terminal, it won't be a big deal.

If they're going the unofficial route, I would think Bazzite would be the more "safe" recommendation if you were looking to get SteamOS without having what I will only halfheartedly describe as a cludged-together distro (as much as I love the project).

Me happily using Bazzite for ~2 years since it was in beta.

No more tinkering. Just gaming.
