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.

Ironically HoloISO also can't be installed easily right now since all the prepared downloads are missing. You could maybe built it yourself from source, but I haven't figured it out...

I opened this issue several months ago: https://github.com/HoloISO/issuetracker/issues/59

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.

At the moment. But the whole point of the article is that it's coming soon.
