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. - -Copyright © 2016 Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org>\ -Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document -under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 -International license or any later version published by Creative -Commons; A copy of the license can be found at -[../cc-by-sa-4.0.txt](../cc-by-sa-4.0.txt) - -Updated versions of the license (when available) can be found at -<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode> - -UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE EXTENT -POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS AND -AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND -CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, -OR OTHER.
