+ <h2>Why use libreboot?</h2>
+ <p>
+ Many people use <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">non-free</a> boot firmware, even if they
+ use <a href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/">GNU/Linux</a>. Non-free BIOS/UEFI firmware often contains backdoors,
+ can be slow and have severe bugs, where you are left
+ helpless at the mercy of the developers; <em>you have no freedom over your computing</em>. By contrast, libreboot joins <a href="https://gnu.org/">GNU</a> in building
+ a world where everyone can use, study, adapt and share software, with true control and ownership over their technology.
+ <b>In other words, you should use Libreboot for your freedom's sake!</b>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Libreboot is faster, more secure and more reliable than most proprietary firmware, and can provide many advanced features
+ (such as encrypted /boot/, GPG signature checking before booting your kernel, ability to load an OS <em>from the flash chip</em>, and
+ more).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Libreboot provides a fully automated build system and installation process, with documentation written for non-technical users,
+ in an attempt to make coreboot as easy to use as possible. ROM images are provided, along with utilities, all built from the
+ publicly distributed source code.
