-% List of recommended GNU+Linux distributions for libreboot 
-
-Any distribution should work, so long as it uses kernel mode setting for
-graphics. We recommend using distributions that are entirely free
-software; most distros out there have proprietary software in them, but
-the ones that we recommend do not have proprietary software by default.
-
-[How to install GNU+Linux on a libreboot
-system](../gnulinux/grub_boot_installer.html)
-
-Debian
-------
-
-Most of the developers use it. We recommend Debian stable releases for most
-users. If you want to do development, e.g. libreboot development, then you
-should use the testing release of Debian.
-
-Debian by default comes without non-free software in the default
-installation or repos. There is a non-free repo that's not added by
-default. Just avoid adding this, and you should have a fully free
-system.
-
-[Visit the Debian website](https://www.debian.org/)
-
-We recommend using the *MATE* desktop.
-
-Devuan
-------
-
-Devuan is a fork of Debian that does not use the controversial *systemd*
-init system.
-
-See: <https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom/>.
-
-[Visit the Devuan website](https://www.devuan.org/)
-
-We recommend using the *MATE* desktop.
-
-Qubes
------
-
-Security-focussed distribution. It makes heavy use of IOMMU and hardware
-virtualization to separate running applications, along with other
-security features. Provides a full hypervisor for running applications.
-
-Also heavily in favour of adoption of both Libreboot and Coreboot.
-
-**Of all available Libreboot systems, Qubes is currently only known to
-be compatible with the ASUS KGPE-D16 and KCMA-D8, due to the hardware
-virtualization requirement (and even on those boards, only certain CPUs
-have fully functional virtualization in Libreboot).**
-
-[Visit the Qubes website](https://www.qubes-os.org/)
-
-Dragora
--------
-
-Fully free distribution, with a focus on simple package management and
-configuration. Experienced users might like this distro. It also has
-native support for multiple languages.
-
-[Visit the Dragora website](https://dragora.org/)
-
-Parabola
---------
-
-Fully free bleeding edge distribution, based on the *Arch* distribution.
-Good for saavy users and developers in general (some libreboot
-developers use this).
-
-Arch users, refer to the [Parabola migration
-guide](https://wiki.parabola.nu/Migration_from_the_GNU+Linux_distribution_of_Arch).
-
-[Visit the Parabola website](https://www.parabola.nu/)
-
-We recommend using the *MATE* desktop.
