Major updates and improvements are included with this release. There is now a systemctl daemon that makes rEFInd the next boot top priority every time that SteamOS boots. There is also a provided .ps1 Powershell script meant to do the same thing from the Windows side, when it's set as a scheduled task. The installation script now also detects if the SteamOS EFI entry has been deleted by a BIOS (UEFI firmware) update, and readds the SteamOS EFI entry if necessary. Further README updates are a work in progress. Thank you to Reddit user lucidludic for the EFI next boot workarounds. Here's hoping that Valve (or Insyde) don't block that as well with a future change.

Added an optional no pacman version of the installation script. This has been tested to work when the pacman repositories are experiencing an issue. The README has also been updated with SteamOS 3.4 stable issues, and how to address them.

There's nothing too major in this updated release, but I did add the option for Batocera (from the Micro SD card slot) as a 3rd option for booting. By default this is disabled. If you want to enable Batocera from the Micro SD card slot, edit the refind.conf file and delete the disabled line from the "Batocera" stanza.

This is just a minor change to the refind.conf config file for better compatibility with external displays (when docked or using Nreal air, etc.).

Fixed the password checking functionality for a new Steam Deck user. The script will check to see if a deck user password has already been set, and if it has not will run the passwd command to set the deck user password (used for sudo password). The script will also now check for duplicate rEFInd EFI entries from previous script runs and delete them (assuming only one leftover from previous script run). Multiple new backgrounds and icons have also been added. Edit the refind.conf lines accordingly to switch backgrounds and/ or icons using the sudo nano /esp/efi/refind/refind.conf command. Enjoy.

Removed the password checking portion at the beginning since it did not function as intended for a new user with a brand new installation. The README file has been updated to reflect the need to manually create the deck user password before continuing with the script.

Initial release for the Steam Deck rEFInd installations script. I've successfully tested and installed rEFInd on my Steam Deck using this release. It should be fine to use if the recommended pre-requisites are met, detailed in the README file.
