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

    Ventoy isn’t the same. That’s for booting live/installation media but doesn’t typically replace your bootloader in the conventional sense. Or at least, that’s not its intended purpose.

    This is intended to replace something like GRUB, the default Linux bootloader for most distributions. It lets you configure the various options or version of a kernel you might like to load, as well as handling the boot options for other operating systems that might be installed.
