I wrote this last summer to avoid doing chainloading shenanigans with GRUB and refind (or using the EFI executable utility). I have a 10,1 (not realizing that, apparently, this hack is only needed on 11,x?).

I figured I'd share it with you guys!

Hey orospakr , thanks for sharing your repository with us. I added your repo to the list of possible apple_set_ost tricks.

I am not aware that the 10,x model needs the apple_set_os hack. I don't think that this model hides the iGPU if Linux is booted in EFI mode.
