Description

**System Information**
Systems tested: Desktop (i7 4770, RX 580, 16G Ram, 250 SSD/1TB Spindle, Asus ROG Maximus VI)
ChimeraOS Version :: 44-1
Client Version :: 2023-11-16

**Problem**
When attempting to use the Factory reset option in the client menu user is presented with an error "Failed to Initiate factory reset."

**Details**
When reviewing journlctl, command was sent to OS, but failed. When trying to run the command manually it didn't recgonize the command. I was not able to find the script _streamos-factory-reset-config_ anywhere on the file system, or in my path.

It does appear the script was replaced with a new method of handling this possibly?

_New item on Holo_mirror in pkgbuild a month ago_: https://gitlab.com/evlaV/holo-PKGBUILD/-/blob/master/steamos-reset/PKGBUILD
_New repo opened a month ago_: https://gitlab.com/evlaV/steamos-reset

Looking at the commit this appears to be a more robust factory-reset service.

**Possible Mitigation:**
Pull in older reset scripts into current ChimeraOS repo, or look to pull in the new reset services.
