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

    Finally, I can replace the cold dark text of Grub with the warm embrace of an Anime girl when I boot.

    We live in the future people!

      you can tell these are better because they’re shorter than the original. lol

      Where are you seeing these? I searched the github for “hutdown” and it never appears without an s in front of it.

        I was being sarcastic. ;) The first letter in those word are barley visible.

    that’s awesome

    the thing with systemd “taking over”anything also has to do with it offering options that actually lessens efforts

    nice to see another option apart from systemd-boot

    this is the kind of things the uBlue project would be interested in looking forward to

      I actually like systemd-boot more than GRUB. I see it for 1 second, so I really don’t see the point of theming a bootloader but this is the world of freedom. Any preference is welcome.

        Same. Been using systemd-boot for years now. 0 issues. With Grub I had my fair share of trouble. Nothing too critical, but just another thing to worry about.

        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

            The commit history is basically only

            • …
            • update config.h
            • update config.c
            • update main.c
            • update gui.c
            • …

            It just looks like they don’t know how to use git well and is making a commit for a single file instead of multiple ones
