**UPDATE 21 October 2023: [Libreboot 20231021](libreboot20231021.md) is out,
|
||||
and it's vastly superior to Libreboot 20230625 or nonGeNUine Boot 20230717;
|
||||
and GNU Boot 0.1 RC is still not much different than the state GNU Boot was in
|
||||
at the time of the article below. GNU Boot 0.1 RC (the latest version of GNU
|
||||
Boot as of 21 October 2023) is essentially just Libreboot 20220710 plus patches
|
||||
I made for them enabling KGPE-D16 to build correctly on modern Linux distros.**

**UPDATE, 27 October 2023: The Censored Libreboot and nonGeNUine Boot websites have merged

into a new project, called Canoeboot. Canoeboot is a new Libreboot-endorsed

spinoff project (official fork).**
|
||||
|
||||
**It's likely that another FSDG-compatible variant of Libreboot will be made,
|
||||
again for fun, based on Libreboot 20231021. Watch this space! tl;dr Libreboot
|
||||
is vastly superior in the October 2023 revision compared to June 2023, and
|
||||
the June 2023 revision is still superior to GNU Boot (still uses newer coreboot
|
||||
revisions, has better error handling in the build system, builds more efficiently
|
||||
and is generally just better, because it's literally about 8 months ahead in
|
||||
development, and supports more hardware such as gru chromebooks with u-boot or
|
||||
the Dell Latitude E6400 - which GNU Boot still doesn't support. Libreboot today
|
||||
is now lightyears ahead, and the recent October 2023 release has coreboot
|
||||
revisions 2 years ahead of the ones used in GNU Boot's default coreboot tree (in Libreboot 20230625 and nonGeNUine Boot 20230717, it's still about 18 months ahead).**

then nonGeNUine Boot 20230717, with the intent that *GNU Boot* re-use the work,

but they never re-used any of it except for my D16 build fixes, and one or two
|

minor things.

The [Censored Libreboot c20230710 release](censored-libreboot20230710.md)
|
||||
release provides a clear example as to the merits of this policy, by showing
|
||||
what Libreboot would be if it *didn't* adopt this policy.
|
||||
The *[Canoeboot project](https://canoeboot.org/)* is an official sister project
|
||||
of Libreboot, that implements the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines
|
||||
or *GNU FSDG* as policy, instead of the policy below. Canoeboot is maintained by
|
||||
Leah Rowe, the same person who founded the Libreboot project, and who maintains
|
||||
Libreboot releases to this day. Criticism of GNU FSDG is provided, in the
|
||||
article below.
|
||||
|
||||
Canoeboot provides a clear example as to the merits of the policy seen below, by
|
||||
showing what Libreboot would be if it *didn't* adopt that policy; it is vastly
|
||||
inferior to Libreboot, due to weaker hardware support and less freedom of choice
|
||||
for users. Canoeboot is engineered to a high standard, basing off of each
|
||||
Libreboot release, but you should still use *Libreboot*. Canoeboot is only
|
||||
a *proof of concept*.
