				Libreboot is a free BIOS or UEFI replacement (<a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free as in freedom</a>);
				libre <em>boot firmware</em> that initializes the hardware and starts a bootloader for your operating
				system.
				It's also an open source BIOS, but open source <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">fails</a> to
				promote freedom; <em>please call libreboot <strong><a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a></strong></em>. <a href="docs/index.html#why">Learn more</a>

			<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. <strong>In other words, you should use Libreboot for your freedom's sake!</strong>
				</p>
				<p>
					Libreboot is faster, more secure and more reliable than most non-free 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 the software as easy to use as possible. ROM images are provided, along with utilities, all built from the
					publicly distributed source code.
