Limine is a portable boot loader and the reference implementation for the Limine boot protocol.[3][4] Multiboot2, chainloading, and the Linux boot protocols are also supported. Limine supports the ISO-9660 and FAT filesystems.[5][6]
Limine aims to provide a more robust alternative to bootloaders like GNU GRUB,[7] as well as its own boot protocol as an alternative to the Multiboot specification, with the goal of reducing the amount of work needed for a kernel developer to get a workable 64-bit environment once booted.[3]
Limine is packaged by several Linux distributions, being offered by Arch Linux, where it is an option in archinstall,[8][9][10][11][12][13] as well as included in EasyOS[14] (a derivative of Puppy Linux[15]), CachyOS,[16][17], Chimera Linux,[18] and KaOS.[19][20][21] Limine is also used by Cosmos[22] and supported by SerenityOS.[23]
