Faille à télécharger SteamOS
Hey there! I noticed you often end up here when you try new things, that’s cool! I recently learned about steamOS and started exploring it after reading and watching a lot of content about the Steam Deck. I’m planning to set up a small PC that connects to a TV and acts as a console. After waiting two months for a new drive (an NVMe one), I finally got it, but when I tried to install SteamOS, I ran into issues. Even with a bootable USB made by balenaEtcher, the installation failed consistently. The error message I kept seeing was linked to an image file, and it seems like no recent discussions about this problem exist online since 2015. It’s puzzling since there are still people talking about it. Do you have any ideas on how to get it working? If not, maybe someone could suggest alternatives or ways to create a similar setup? Thanks for your help! Also, I’m curious if holoISO is an option, especially with my RTX 2060 Super GPU—it seems to be problematic there.
Recent updates to SteamOS generally don't support Nvidia GPUs. The SteamDeck versions will be the same. To run SteamOS or a version close to the Steam Deck, you'll have to wait for HoloISO to add support for 20xx series GPUs. In general, Linux can be frustrating unless you're just playing games. HoloISO now supports Nvidia GPUs, though they remain limited to 9xx and 10xx models and still have issues.
SteamOS is specifically designed for the Steam Deck and typically comes with strong restrictions to ensure stability. For a more flexible Linux experience, consider Pop!_OS. Nvidia drivers are included in their ISO files, eliminating compatibility issues. If you prefer a Windows-like setup, explore Kubuntu or Mint XFCE.
I just set up Linux Mint and it seems amazing, I’ll also give Pop! OS a shot. Appreciate the recommendations!
Initial message here – with some plain, unapologetic nerd energy at the end (most likely to be brushed off). Sorry for the delay, I actually set this up just to chat because I recently went through it myself. Though I might have taken shortcuts compared to others who know PC tech and are super persistent! The biggest skill is understanding how to phrase your learning for search engines, then having enough patience to read multiple articles in hopes of finding what’s still relevant – especially if your setup is similar to yours. Usually, updates can make many How-To pieces outdated. *ahem*
If you’re after a simpler but less secure way, using a non-Microsoft account without a password could work. Just let me know if that’s something you’d consider here. In my view, what you want is to configure the system so that once it asks for login, your real password is automatically used – but if admin approval is needed, the no-password method really highlights its risks. This approach would require an admin account with the password entered, unless you change the default settings intentionally.
Be aware at the final stage when entering your Windows password: you must use the normal Microsoft account password, not a custom one. You can still use a PIN for manual approvals, but for automatic logins, entering the full password is necessary.
I know I’m emphasizing a bit, but this is what often causes confusion. It’s the most common source of frustration – people forget their usual passwords because they’re saved everywhere and the first device was set up with just a PIN. That initial password still exists, even if it looks like a simple number or letter.
Now, let’s move on!
1. Press Ctrl+R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type 'netplwiz' into the box and clear any previous entries – unless it’s already there, just press Enter.
3. Look at the list; find the account you want and click it. This step isn’t mandatory but can be helpful if needed.
4. Above the account names, uncheck the single checkbox. Doing so will prevent the system from prompting for a username and password.
5. Click Apply or OK.
6. You’ll see two fields to enter your password – confirm it matches what you expect.
7. Restart your computer right away to verify everything works.
Hope this helps! I’m here to simplify, but remember: clarity beats confusion, especially when it comes to tech.
P.S. If you’re open to it, let me know if you’d prefer a step-by-step guide for a non-Microsoft account – just give me a shout!
