Comment: Unreliable sources are still linked and issues have not been fully addressed. The first six sources are all primary. #8 is the only source that appears to be reliable and independent at a glance, and Limine is only discussed as a passing mention there that "it is supported".

Comment: Github is not an appropriate source -- NotCharizard ^🗨 08:24, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Limine is a portable boot loader and the reference implementation for the Limine boot protocol.^[3] multiboot2, chainloading, and the Linux boot protocols are also supported. Limine supports the ISO-9660 and FAT filesystems.^[2]

Limine aims to provide an more robust alternative to bootloaders like GNU GRUB,^[1] 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,^[4]^[5] as well as included by EasyOS, a derivative of Puppy Linux.^[6]^[7] Limine is also supported by SerenityOS.^[8]
