SteamDeck-rEFInd-dualboot VS SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot

rEFInd script

https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-rEFInd-dualboot - I used this guide, followed the uninstall instructions and the bootup still isnt gone, anyone know how I can get rid of it?

This will mostly benefit Steam Deck users who have setup a dual boot - SteamOS and Windows but does not want to use a graphical boot manager like Clover or rEFInd.

I followed this guide https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-rEFInd-dualboot

NOTE1 This is a continuation of my rEFInd script from here. The design goal is the same from my rEFInd implementation - make as little changes as possible to the system. The script only copies files to the /esp/efi/clover location and manipulates the EFI boot orders. Extra scripts are saved in ~/1Clover-tools which just manipulates the EFI boot orders, and an uninstall to reverse any changes made. There are no extra systemd scripts created, no extra power shell scripts needed and no need for EasyUEFI.

Dual boot is very easy. Personally I'd recommend adding partition of 60gb for windows and use SD card for games. https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-rEFInd-dualboot Is apparently an easy to use script that automates it

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.

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.
