Reboot to {OS}

This a collection of notes and files used in my quest to create "Reboot to Windows" and "Reboot to Linux" scripts (and desktop shortcuts) for Linux and Windows respectively that automatically reboot my system and instruct rEFInd to auto-select the appropriate OS entry.

General Information

The key for achieving this is to modify the EFI Variable PreviousBoot with GUID 36d08fa7-cf0b-42f5-8f14-68df73ed3740, which rEFInd uses to store the last entry selected in the menu and, if using the + default entry, will be used to select the default OS. By doing this, we trick rEFInd into booting the OS we choose without having to be physically there to press the keyboard.

	-- A tweak atop https://github.com/technicalfactorio/technicalfactorio/blob/master/combinators/generate_signal_index.lua
	-- to generate stack sizes instead of unique identifiers.
	-- Does not create entries for virtual signals, as they cannot be stacked.
	-- Meant to be used in combination with:
