A while ago I started getting error messages when running dnf up, saying that the metadata for the repos balena-etcher uses. Looking at their github page, I see that there is an open issue about this, where they say they can no longer afford to host the package at cloudsmith, but there is no info about how to work around the issue.

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"
1 project | /r/WindowsOnDeck | 20 Jun 2023

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
1 project | /r/SteamDeck | 6 Jun 2023

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.
