free (libre) BIOS/UEFI replacement. Based on coreboot, the aim is to distribute low-level boot firmware that is 100% free software, and easy to use."); ?>

Most people in the global free software community are using free operating systems; namely, the GNU operating system. However, most of them are still relying on proprietary software to boot their operating system, via software called firmware (often referred to as the BIOS or UEFI). The goal of libreboot is identical to that of the GNU project and Free Software Foundation, which is to ensure that everyone has the freedom to use, study, adapt and share software freely; more broadly, the freedom to truly own and control the technology that they use.

Libreboot has many practical advantages over proprietary boot firmware, such as faster boot speeds and better security; source audits are possible and, therefore, the firmware is unlikely to contain backdoors (common in proprietary firmware). You can install GNU/Linux with encrypted /boot/, verify GPG signatures on your kernel, write-protect the flash chip, run a full operating system directly from the flash chip (planned for a future release), and more.
