- <h1 id="pagetop">List of recommended GNU+Linux distributions for libreboot</h1>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- Note: we are not the Free Software Foundation. The recommendations here
- consist of both FSF-endorsed and non-FSF-endorsed distros. Some of these
- distributions wrongly call the whole system <em>Linux</em>. Despite libreboot's
- <a href="../../gnu/">stance against the GNU project</a>, we still agree
- with the free software philosophy and we still want you to call the
- whole system <em>GNU+Linux</em>, since this is the technically correct
- name for the system.
- </p>
- <h2>FSF-endorsed distros</h2>
- <p>
- Many FSF-endorsed GNU+Linux distributions are considered unfit
- for general use by the libreboot project.
- You can read about their problems here:<br/>
- <a href="../fsf-distros/">Why we can't endorse many FSF-endorsed distributions</a>.

- <h2>Debian</h2>
- <p>
- Most of the developers use it (Leah Rowe always uses testing
- releases of Debian). 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Visit the Debian website</a>
- </p>
- <p>
- We recommend using the <em>MATE</em> desktop.
- </p>
- <h2>Devuan</h2>
- <p>
- Devuan is a fork of Debian that does not use the controversial
- <em>systemd</em> init system.
- </p>
- <p>
- See: <a href="https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom/">https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom/</a>.

- </p>
- <p>
- We recommend using the <em>MATE</em> desktop.
- </p>
- <h2>Qubes</h2>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- Also heavily in favour of adoption of both Libreboot and Coreboot.
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong>
- 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).
- </strong>

- </p>
- <h2>Dragora</h2>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a href="https://dragora.org/">Visit the Dragora website</a>
- </p>
- <h2>Parabola</h2>
- <p>
- Fully free bleeding edge distribution, based on the <em>Arch</em> distribution.
- Good for saavy users and developers in general (some libreboot developers
- use this).
- </p>
- <p>
- Arch users, refer to the <a href="https://wiki.parabola.nu/Migration_from_the_GNU+Linux_distribution_of_Arch">Parabola migration guide</a>.
