Clear Linux available in Clover bootloader

I was struggling to get my Mac OS laptop boot also Clear Linux using Clover EFI loader. Making it tripple boot with Mac OS, Windows 10 and Clear Linux it would require following a sequence.

- First thing is to install Mac OS and make it boot via Clover.
- Second is to install (or restore Windows 10). Here make sure that Clover boots correctly both Mac OS and Windows.
- Third is to install Clear Linux. So create required primary partitions CLR_BOOT, CLR_SWAP and CLR_ROOT and proceed with the installation. When installation is completed make a copy of output from command blkid and reboot to Mac OS.

Now, in Clover Configurator mount EFI partition and load config which you use to boot Mac OS. Next go to GUI section, add new Custom Entry and enter only UUID of the CLR_BOOT partition and name which you want to see in Clover boot menu. When that's done, reboot and check if it worked.

Following pictures are for reference hoping they clearly ilustrate what to put and where.
