*CachyOS with Steamify Live ISO: CachyOS's desktop ISO with Steamify built in (install CachyOS and turn the

PC into a Steam Machine in one go). Its additions come first; CachyOS's own notes follow.*
|

|

**CachyOS with Steamify Live ISO: features:**
|
||||
|
||||
* **ISO:** called `steamify-cachyos-<date>-x86_64.iso`; CachyOS Hello installs it like CachyOS's own
|
||||
release (the build date is kept in `/etc/steammachine-iso-build`)
|
||||
* **Installer (CachyOS - Steamify Installer):**
|
||||
* A Steamify page after the packages page: which Steam Machine parts to set up (rows from
|
||||
`steamify.sh --defaults --list`, the newest Steamify fetched before Calamares starts) and where
|
||||
the PC starts (gaming mode or the desktop)
|
||||
* The Summary lists every chosen item and where the PC starts
|
||||
* The new user's Steam Machine setup runs during the install (`steamify-install`, a Calamares step
|
||||
before cleanup): the first boot is already a Steam Machine
|
||||
* Only what Steamify supports is offered: KDE Plasma, and the boot loaders Limine, systemd-boot and
|
||||
GRUB (not rEFInd)
|
||||
* **Live session:** keeps CachyOS's own name; the power-off fix is built for the ISO's kernels, and
|
||||
the login has the Vapor look
|
||||
|
||||
**CachyOS with Steamify Live ISO: fixes:**
|
||||
|
||||
* **systemd-boot:** the installed system gets its "Linux Boot Manager" EFI boot entry, first in the
|
||||
boot order. cachyos-installer runs `bootctl install` in a chroot, where bootctl leaves the EFI
|
||||
variables alone, so the entry was missing: the PC could only boot through the disk's fallback path
|
||||
(`\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI`). Most PCs find it early and boot normally, but firmware that tries the
|
||||
network first waits minutes on every boot (QEMU/OVMF: PXE, HTTP boot and the EFI shell come first),
|
||||
and anything else that writes the fallback file (another OS) takes the boot over.
|
||||
`steamify-install` now runs `bootctl --variables=yes install` from the live system;
|
||||
the output is in `/var/log/steamify-bootentry.log`
|
||||
* **Installer:** Steamify's setup never asks for a password (its sudo rule is read after CachyOS's
|
||||
`%wheel` rule); Calamares starts with the Boost version it was linked against
|
||||
* **Build:** finishes cleanly as root and reports no error after a successful build; the Steamify page's
|
||||
Calamares module is built with the ISO and left out when Calamares' version differs
