Wanting to have a full desktop experience instead of the limited (no root) of SteamOS with wonky workarounds I tried to install HoloISO directly to the Steam Deck.
But I failed. The installation process seemed fine so far, but in the end I got this:
full_installation:8 not found
Trying to reboot just leads to the login screen without a graphical user interface. Is there anything special which needs to be taken care of to install HoloISO to the Deck?

My installation procedure so far:
  • Download the ISO
  • Use BalenaEtcher (on Linux) to move the ISO to an USB stick
  • Boot from the Stick
  • Since installation failed without anything useful as output first, on a second try I opened konsole an ran `sudo holoinstall` without sudo it couldn't erase the nvme (gussed so)

Just for the info. Installing the recovery image for the official SteamOS works fine.

Today, another try, the installation went through. Maybe it was just a bad timing before?
Fan curve sounds like the early release curve (most of the time on and audible). I will look for a way to tune this down manually. The rest ist great so far!
