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 problem with systemd taking over anything also has to do with it offering options that actually lessens efforts

    You systemd haters are practically feral. WTF does this have to do with systemd?

      not hating, just saying that now that systemd-boot is being seen as a “modern” successor to GRUB it would feel to people who don’t like systemd like “oh no they’re replacing another standard tool with their own thing”

      but the thing is, a lot of systemd tools have been adopted because they actually made work easier for people maintaining projects

      I’m using Universal Blue as a reference because of their position of adopting novelty tools like bootc even before Fedora

      now, their newest project Dakota is going to use systemd-boot to provide a full chain of trust

      maybe systemd-boot seemed like the best option, it’s not like sD devs forced them to adopt their option

      so it’s nice to see ACTUAL good projects so the freedom to choose doesn’t always mean giving up to the “best/easier” option

        It kind of is, though. You dont typically select your preboot environment, it’s selected for you.
