Discussions and news about gaming on the GNU/Linux family of operating systems (including the Steam Deck). Potentially a $HOME

Also, if you're using EFI, you can use something like efibootmgr to select which entry to use on next boot up. Handy if you want to swap between OS installs without breaking out a remote KVM or hassle with GRUB monitoring all your drives.

Honestly, the whole thing should be way more standardized, handled directly from BIOS without having to interrupt the boot and support fast booting instead of bringing up a menu every time. It's weird that crappy, cheap ARM handhelds with Android/Linux dual boot handle this better than x64 devices
On Linux you can already boot to Windows (Bazzite even installs a script that does this into your Steam library to enable easy switching from Game Mode). I am not sure if there's something readily available to do this on Windows, but either way it's a massive waste of time to boot into one thing to then boot into the other. It's even a waste of time to have to step through any menus at all to select a boot option.
