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. -

- 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 Linux. Despite libreboot's - stance against the GNU project, we still agree - with the free software philosophy and we still want you to call the - whole system GNU+Linux, since this is the technically correct - name for the system. -

FSF-endorsed distros

- Many FSF-endorsed GNU+Linux distributions are considered unfit - for general use by the libreboot project. - You can read about their problems here:
- Why we can't endorse many FSF-endorsed distributions. -

Debian

- 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. -

- 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 -

- 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 -

- 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 -

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 -

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. -

- Visit the Parabola website -

- We recommend using the MATE desktop. -
