Uninstall steamdeck refind gui help.
I used this setup https://github.com/jlobue10/SteamDeck_rEFInd

Using rEFInd dual boot and I love it! However, it suddenly stopped working randomly when I try to boot into windows. SteamOS boots fine but windows doesn’t. I keep trying to spam click into windows but nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!
Are you using my script or GUI? If so, feel free to open an issue for more in-depth troubleshooting and fixing.

Jlobu reFind "GUI compile failed"
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.

rEFInd to boot between Steam OS modes
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.

Stop windows from forcing itself into the first bios boot option?
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.

Clover vs rEFInd: Which is the better choice for dual-booting the SteamDeck?
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.

My Steam Deck always turns on like this from shutdown. Any clue how to disable it?
That sounds like something went wrong with the boot manager. It might cause bigger issues down the road and I would suggest just doing a complete wipe but you could try this. I use this to force SteamOS on boot instead of Windows.

For those who dual boot but doesn't like to use a GUI boot manager
I've been using this script from chinballstv for the past week. It adds a Systemd service in SteamOS that sets the next boot to SteamOS.
-
oh shoot it worked! i will use this instead and get away with the rEFInd drama!
That is what I do as well, but in addition I ran this script on SteamOS. What it does is setup a service in SteamOS which tell the system to boot into SteamOS on next boot.
