New official WLAN driver + Updated SteamDeckTools to 0.6.5
Mainly wanted to switch to a found official driver for WLAN that appears to be much more stable than the previous official WLAN driver being used, and doesn't have the small hiccups that the unlocked driver had. (Mainly draining too much power during sleep)
Also updated SteamDeckTools to the latest stable release: 0.6.5

v3.3 - Updated SteamDeckTools to 5.47, Added dialog to consent to submitting error/version data to SteamDeckTools developers
A bit of a delay on this one as there have been many changes to SteamDeckTools. After version 5.31, SteamDeckTools now includes telemetry gathering, including error data, and reporting version being used for statistical gathering. There's a new dialog pop-up that will request whether you want to consent to this data gathering, or if you would prefer not to use it. If you choose not to use it, you will need to manually update SteamDeckTools when new versions become available.

v3.0 - No more SWICD/HidHide, Unlocked WLAN drivers
As SteamDeckTools has a decent controller setup now, I've removed SWICD and HidHide from the automated installer. I've also replaced the WLAN drivers with an unlocked version found to perform better when running on Battery.
Instructional Video is now very different than how the script looks, but with the ease of running the script, I'm not sure a new video is required at this point. I'll list any manual inputs required below.

v2.2 - SteamDeckTools update
No major changes:
- Updated SteamDeckTools to 4.0
- Changed disabling hibernate to a reduced disable to retain quickboot
The Previous video can be a good reference, but will no longer be a 1:1 replication of what the script experience will be: https://youtu.be/cEBMSYeoX9w
Post install, you will still need block Steam from taking control of the SteamDeck controller using HidHide.
v2.1 - Minor Updates
A few minor updates:
- Steam + "..." = Enable Numpad
--- Enabling Numlock on boot does not work for virtual keyboards - Update SWICD to 3.3
- Update SteamDeckTools to 3.18
v2.0 Release. (Adds SteamDeckTools to replace AHK)
A lot of changes in this update.
- Bluetooth drivers have been added
- SteamDeckTools will now be installed
- AHK functionality is now a part of SteamDeckTools
- Peace is no longer needed to be installed
- Configuration is applied directly to EqualizerAPO

1.2 Released (Removes EDID setup)
Between the new APU and new firmware drivers. the display has too much variety between SteamDecks to reliably assign EDID values. I've gone ahead and removed this step from the script.
Install guide is still identical to previous: https://youtu.be/cEBMSYeoX9w
1.1 released (Includes Nov 8th APU driver)
Valve just released a new APU driver, so updated the script to grab that instead of the previous driver now.
