Long boot times oled deck dual boot v3.6.9 steamOS beta

[julianrios]

Not sure if this is specific to this app but I've been running into long boot times.

On bootup I see these load ups:
15 seconds to clover bootloader
5 second time out set in clover app
30 seconds to the steam animation screen

I just moved to the oled deck using v3.6.9 steamOS beta

sorry for the very late reply. afair this happens with / wthout Clover.

SteamOS 3.6 is in stable now and it has improved quite a bit but from time to time still experiencing a slow boot.
