SteamDeckAutomatedInstall VS SteamDeck_rEFInd

A better approach would be to start with a proper ISO downloaded directly from Microsoft and run a post-install script that installs any applications, drivers, and system tweaks you prefer. A similar project exists that I use and recommend for getting a fresh Windows install running on Steam Deck.

The only thing different here are some inbox apps are removed and Steam + assorted drivers are installed out of the box, all of which you can do with a community installer script and community tweaking tools.

Based on the powershell scripts from CelesteHeartsong which are available here: https://github.com/CelesteHeartsong/SteamDeckAutomatedInstall

No. See the guide here. There is a automated install here.

I personally recommend SteamDeckAutomatedInstall post install. It automates the process of downloading and installing all the drivers and basic tools you need to get started.

I have also installed windows and have run this auto installer of all the things driver-wise: https://github.com/CelesteHeartsong/SteamDeckAutomatedInstall/releases

I used this setup https://github.com/jlobue10/SteamDeck_rEFInd

Are you using my script or GUI? If so, feel free to open an issue for more in-depth troubleshooting and fixing.

Download from the release page and follow the instructions from here. Let me know how it goes. I really need to open an issue on Valve's SteamOS GitHub as there is not a good reason (in my opinion) that these necessary (to compile) packages aren't included in SteamOS by default. They take up a very small amount of space and should be included, as far as I'm concerned.

I was wondering if it’s possible to use rEFInd to easily boot between Decktop mode and Gamepad mode, rather than automatically booting into game mode as default. I don’t want to auto boot any modes, but would rather the option to choose before loading one or the other.

I walk through the required steps here to rebuild the boot entry properly for Windows. People don't seem to fully read available information from the READMEs. This has been frustrating for months now.

Additionally, I found another script by jlobue10 called SteamDeck_rEFInd, which appears to be the foundation for ryanrudolph's rEFInd script. You can find it here.
