• Comment: References have been significantly reworked since the last submission. Article now mainly uses independent news articles from news websites specializing in the subject matter. Exceptions are references 3 and 9, which are used to support uncontroversial self-descriptions. --Lukflug (talk) 17:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
  • 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".

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.[1]

Limine aims to provide a more robust alternative to bootloaders like GNU GRUB,[4] 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,[5][6] as well as included by EasyOS, a derivative of Puppy Linux.[7][8] Limine is also supported by SerenityOS.[9]
