Limine (pronounced as demonstrated [here](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/in%20limine)) is a modern, advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader and boot manager, also used as the reference implementation for the [Limine boot protocol](https://codeberg.org/Limine/limine-protocol/src/branch/trunk/PROTOCOL.md). ### Community, Support, and Donations #### Donate If you want to support the work I ([@mintsuki](https://codeberg.org/Mintsuki)) do on Limine, feel free to donate to me on Liberapay: <p><a href="https://liberapay.com/mintsuki/donate"><img alt="Donate using Liberapay" src="https://liberapay.com/assets/widgets/donate.svg"></a></p> Donations welcome, but absolutely not mandatory! #### Community We have a Matrix room at [`#limine:matrix.org`](https://matrix.to/#/#limine:matrix.org) and a [Fluxer community](https://fluxer.gg/ZRviNMvT) if you need support, info, or you just want to hang out with us. ### Limine's boot menu  [Photo by Pixabay](https://www.pexels.com/photo/brown-leafed-tree-on-open-field-under-white-clouds-and-blue-sky-35857/) ### Supported architectures * IA-32 (32-bit x86) * x86-64 * aarch64 (arm64) * riscv64 * loongarch64 (experimental support!) ### Supported boot protocols * Linux * [Limine](https://codeberg.org/Limine/limine-protocol/src/branch/trunk/PROTOCOL.md) * Multiboot 1 * Multiboot 2 * Chainloading ### Supported partitioning schemes * MBR * GPT * Unpartitioned media ### Supported filesystems * FAT12/16/32 * ISO9660 (CDs/DVDs) If your filesystem isn't listed here, please read [the FAQ](FAQ.md) first, especially before opening issues or pull requests related to this. ### Minimum system requirements For 32-bit x86 systems, support is only ensured starting with those with Pentium Pro (i686) class CPUs. All x86-64, aarch64, riscv64 and loongarch64 (UEFI) systems are supported. ## Packaging status All Limine releases since 7.x use [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) for their naming. [](https://repology.org/project/limine/versions) ## Binary releases For convenience, for point releases, binaries are distributed. These binaries are shipped in the `-binary` branches and tags of this repository (see [branches](https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine/branches) and [tags](https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine/tags)). For example, to clone the latest binary release of the `10.x` branch, one can do: ```bash git clone https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine.git --branch=v10.x-binary --depth=1 ``` or, to clone a specific binary point release (for example `10.8.5`): ```bash git clone https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine.git --branch=v10.8.5-binary --depth=1 ``` In order to rebuild host utilities like `limine`, simply run `make` in the binary release directory. Host utility binaries are provided for Windows. ## Build and Install Instructions *The following steps are not necessary if cloning a binary release.* See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). ## Usage See [USAGE.md](USAGE.md). ## 3rd Party Software Acknowledgments See [3RDPARTY.md](3RDPARTY.md).
