 - **VM additions**: the script automatically provides guest tools if it detects that a virtualized environment such as VMWare Workstation, VirtualBox, QEMU-KVM is being used
 - **User account setup**: a default user account with sudo permissions can be configured in order to avoid hassle in the post installation phase
 - **CI checks**: ShellChecker checks every PR periodically for bash syntax errors, bad coding practices, etc... 
+- **rEFInd**: this build supports rEFInd out of the box, instead of GRUB
