Latest steam update broke clover boot menu

[julianrios]

Clover boot menu not showing up on startup just boots to default steamOS

Using the clover tool box I set all my defaults again
5 sec time
embedded theme
steamOS default

But still boots to steamOS on powerup or restart.

Need to manually use volume down and power button to pull up the clover bootmenu

Yes when the SteamOS update contains a BIOS update that can happen.

Manually reboot to SteamOS and the script will fix it automatically.

However sometimes the systemd script gets wiped during a SteamOS update, and the script wont run to fix it automatically.

Manually uninstall Clover using Clover Toolbox, and then clone the repo to get the latest version then perform the install.

Once SteamOS 3.6 goes to stable I'll implement the whitelist so that the systemd script will be more consistent during SteamOS updates.
