 A few weeks ago I presented at All Systems Go about the bootloader setup on the SteamDeck.

In there I entertained the idea of switching from grub to systemd-boot. After some quick hacking - turns out you can, for the most part. Additional changes are still needed although first batch of crazy patches have been sent upstream.
