IO-ZetZor/Visor-BootManager ★ 634 19 APPLICATION

Visor is a modern, feature-rich UEFI boot manager written in C, targeting x86_64 and AArch64. It provides a fast, graphically appealing boot menu with auto-detection of operating systems (Linux via EFI stub or raw bzImage, Windows chainload, and other EFI executables). The system is built as a single self-contained EFI binary (~340 KB) using the gnu-efi toolchain, with a sophisticated feature build system that allows compiling optional capabilities (GUI, animations, audio, encryption, TPM, GPT repair, etc.) into lightweight profiles. It supports Secure Boot (including shim), TPM measured boot, LUKS encrypted boot, btrfs snapshot management (snapper/timeshift), BLS/OSTree deployments, and animated backgrounds (GIF, MJPEG, MP4, custom VBG codec). Configuration is done via a plain-text `boot.conf` file, and a companion CLI tool (`visor`) handles installation, updates, kernel encryption, and asset conversion. The codebase demonstrates high craftsmanship through its modular architecture, comprehensive feature stubbing, custom decoders (PNG, JPEG, GIF), GPT repair logic, and hardware-level audio driver (HDA).
