Steam Deck rEFInd Installer

image info
Enjoy the shitty phone picture, looks better in person I swear

Get a nice boot menu on your dual (or more) booted Steam Deck. This is mainly for me since I don't want to have to manually do this again. Feel free to use/modify if you find it helpful for you. Feel free to submit issues or pull requests or a message if something is weird or you need it more suited for your Distro, more than happy to help.

Usage

  1. Clone this Repo and CD into this folder.
  2. Run Command: sudo ./install.sh (You might need to give it exec privs first)
  3. Reboot!

Stuff to know if you use this

Touchscreen, D-PAD, and Buttons work. I disabled Mouse support on this config file (personal preference) uncomment line 213 of the conf file if you want it enabled.

Additionally, refind_config_location might need a different directory path. I'm unsure if Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/(Insert Distro Here) uses a different path, the rEFInd RPM thats grabbed from SourceForge adds the 'refind' folder inside a created efi folder inside the /boot/efi folder (structure is `/boot/efi/efi/refind'), others might not.

Per the rEFInd site: package is not signed with a Secure Boot key, although if the sbsigntool (Debian, Ubuntu) or sbsign (Gentoo) package is installed, the installation scripts will generate and use their own Secure Boot keys and sign the binary with them.

You'll want to add your Distro Icon, unless you want the default icons that come with a standard rEFInd.

Check the bottom of the refind.conf.deck file and you'll see my boot menu entries. I included an example boot entry, but it's pretty straight forward.

Issues?

Firmware updates might cause this to break dumping you to GRUB.
