## FAQ

- **Will it work on Steam Deck?**

  No, stock SteamOS doesn't display a GRUB menu.

- **What about Bazzite, ChimeraOS, HoloISO?**

  Messing around with immutable distributions is not advisable.

- **Can it work on my distro?**

  This theme works on any mutable distribution that uses GRUB2 bootloader, such as Nobara. 

- **My resolution isn't supported!**

  I can only test this theme on my laptop (2560x1600), the other resolutions are only guesstimates. PRs are welcome!

  

- **This theme is bad / wrong!**

  I am not a designer. This is my first GRUB theme ever. Move along.
