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] as well as included in EasyOS, a derivative of Puppy Linux.[10][11] Limine is also used by Cosmos[12] and supported by SerenityOS.[13]
