Not surprising. The quality of their articles is usually mediocre at best. I occasionally look at their RSS feed and most of what I see is “How do I achieve ”–style posts.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What in the fuck is HoloISO?? 2 minutes of research would tell you to get Mint, POPos or something similar and he finds some insane distro no one heard about. Guess everyone can be a tech journalist today.
I think HoloISO is a project to make SteamOS a normal distro that you can install on anything.
HoloISO is essentially a version of Valve's SteamOS 3 repackaged to run on systems other than the Steam Deck, since Valve hasn't released a general-purpose one yet
People generally use it so that they can get as close to the Steam Deck's user experience as possible, though most people usually agree that a more standard desktop distro is a better idea unless you're using console-like device entirely for gaming
Editing system files for a Windows user **IS** difficult though.
And it's also totally ridiculous that you have to edit fstab to auto-mount another volume. GUIs have to get better here. For example file-explorers that show you mountable volumes (like dolphin) could offer a way to remember them.
