Visor is a new open-source UEFI boot manager for Linux, designed to launch kernels, UKIs, Windows, and other EFI applications.

This looks interesting. It’s very new, so it will likely be a while before any OS would adopt it, but it definitely shows promise of a possible alternative to grub down the road

        The repo seems pretty legit to me, good readme, commits clearly written by a human, there is not coding agent in the contributors

        I didn’t check the code tho

          the repo was all uploaded at once, so there wouldnt be a agent as contributer. Since the initial there were 40 commits per day, mostly small changes. So my guess if it was made with an agent its done in a normal chat window and than copy pasted in the repo. Not the most elegant way but ideal to hide the use of AI. And since we dont have a trustworthy day 0 it can be either be done in a day or they could have been working on it for a year.

          It could be a rework of the rEFInd Boot Manager, wich they “credit” in their README
