GNU Boot

GNU Boot is a 100% free (as in freedom) software project aimed at replacing the nonfree boot software (like BIOS or UEFI) of computers with free boot software.

GNU Boot is only a distribution: it reuses existing software projects like Coreboot, GRUB, SeaBIOS, etc.

So it’s not very different from 100% free GNU/Linux distributions like Trisquel or Guix.

Like the other 100% free GNU/Linux distributions its tasks are:

  • to find and remove nonfree software in projects it reuses.
  • to build the software and assemble it in something that can be installed. To test it and to provide installation and upgrade instructions.
  • to provide good default configuration that work for most users.
