    I run winesapOS[0] which is based on SteamOS and was able to repurpose an old Toshiba notebook for my kids, running Freddy Fish* and other games. Windows 10 doesn't run smoothly (even though it came with Windows 10) and I'm not going to run anything older than that.

    * Yes, ScummVM is available for Linux but the Steam Linux distribution included an old ScummVM which wasn't able to load some libraries. Running the Windows version through an compatibility layer was easier than modifying shell files to run the latest ScummVM through flatpak.

    HoloISO and ChimeraOS no longer support Nvidia so you'll need to use winesapOS.

    Context: winesap seems to be a spin of SteamOS3 with KDE, somehow optimised for gaming. It's meant to be used as a live distro?
  • Is there a way to run the SteamOS from the Steam Deck on an Alienware Alpha/Steam Machine?

    My understanding is that Valve intends to release SteamOS 3 for install on other machines at some point, and it will likely include support when that happens. In the meantime, there a modified version of it available on GitHub here which claims to support NVIDIA GPUs, but I have not tried it.

    https://github.com/LukeShortCloud/winesapOS - it is a simple image, ready made, with a lot of software installed. There is almost no configuration needed. However, this means that the image will contain a lot of software that you don't need. From a gaming perspective, you could even game on this and it's already set up - but as it is running from a SD card, I prefer to just reboot into the standard OS.

    If you want something similar to HoloISO, but it has everything you need out of the box, there is WinesapOS. It is also based on the Steam recovery image, but with a bunch of apps and changes for desktop gamers. For an advanced user it would be too bloated, but for a beginner it means you will not need to install or setup apps for any of your game launchers, antivirus software, Chrome, Wine, etc. It also features Intel Mac support, which is pretty cool.
