- 'Free' in this sense refers to freedom (liberty); read the full Free Software definition. + use as possible. Why should I use ?.
-- We believe that everyone deserves the freedom to study, alter and improve technology, - to use it freely without restriction. The goal is identical to that of the Free Software Foundation, - which is to ensure that everything you need to do on a computer can be done exclusively - with free software. -
-- also has many practical advantages over proprietary boot firmware, - such as faster boot speeds and better security. Since the source code is public and fully auditable, - malicious features such as backdoors (common in proprietary firmware) are unlikely to exist. You can - install GNU/Linux with encrypted /boot/, - configure it to only boot - kernels signed with your GPG key, run a full operating system directly - from the flash chip (coming soon!), and more. -
