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.

Steam Deck Windows Dual Boot
Genuine question... what do you expect from the native dual boot solution (coming soonTM ) that's not already possible by shrinking the /home partition and installing whatever other OS in that free space? Combine that with rEFInd and you can have a quality dual boot setup already. I've made it extremely easy to install and customize rEFInd as well. Waiting for the native solution coming who knows when just doesn't make sense to me. I don't see it being any better than what's currently possible.

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.
