Could you build this?
Partial Building a live USB creator and a hardware inventory script is manageable, but creating a bootable, standalone UEFI live environment with deep hardware diagnostics and ACPI/GPU probing requires specialized low-level systems programming.
What it would actually take: Requires building a minimal Linux/UEFI live OS image (e.g., using buildroot or Yocto) with kernel modules for DMI/SMBIOS decoding, PCI/PCIe probing, and GPU test harnesses, packaged alongside an electron or native desktop app with disk-flashing utilities (like libusbgx/dd wrappers).
