SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot VS steam-deck-tools

You can, of course. For ease of use though, you I also suggest you configure a boot loader: https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot

I use Clover for dual-boot (SteamOS 3.5 and Windows 10) - https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot (release 15.10.2023) And I noticed that SteamOS loads much slower due to Clover - ~30 seconds to even over one minute. Windows 10 starts immediately. If I boot SteamOS directly from UEFI (Vol - + power button), the system starts almost immediately.

git clone https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot

You may also find useful this project. It's a preconfigured Clover that can automatically reinstall itself after system upgrades. It automatically detects different OS on different drives and some OS are already preconfigured with beautiful icons. Works flawlessly for me, tested with Ventoy USB drive with multiple images and with Tails (Deck is an amazing device for anonymous Internet access!) on SDCard. The only things I adjusted were menu timeout and theme. I'm not sure if it's better or worse compared to refind.

I use SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot to manage a dual boot. Updates to either SteamOS or Windows will often mess with the boot priority, so installing this script on the SteamOS side tends to help. When one OS “takes over,” manually booting into SteamOS fixes it right up.

I use Steam Deck tools for windows for all my deck buttons and shortcuts https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools

It's friendlier than it looks! First download the latest Steam Deck Tools release from GitHubsteam deck tools, then install RTSSrtss so the overlay and quick menus work, and optionally follow thisvrr guide to get VRR working. Make sure they're all set to run on startup and you should be good to go. The options all live in the task bar, and you can easily toggle between desktop/controller mode and different fan profiles, refresh rates, etc. It takes some fiddling around to get perfect but it has most, if not all, of the functionality of the native OS

Are you sure you are actually using Windows on the deck? Because except for getting the controller working in 3rd party launchers (which needs this single tool: https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools) - there were absolutely NO errors / hurdles at all. Everything just works as expected.

I prefer Steam Deck Tools for Windows https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools this is free, and adds pretty much full Stream Deck functionality to Windows. Steam Deck shortcuts for bringing up the windows keyboard, closing apps, alt tabbing, bringing up an overlay, using the overlay to choose frame rate and scaling options, etc, etc.

Steam Deck Tools I launch Diablo hold start and swaps to controller mode.

Install https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools This gives you control of fans, power limits, controller/mouse mode, etc. Its an all in 1 tool

And I use Steam Deck Tools for Windows for everything else and it works great https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools
