you continue to use your hardware, with continued firmware updates. All of this
is *why* Libreboot exists.
Libreboot provides [GRUB](docs/linux/) and SeaBIOS payloads on x86/x86\_64
Intel/AMD mainboards, and a [U-Boot UEFI payload](docs/uboot/) *for coreboot*
on ARM64(Aarch64) mainboards.
An [x86/x86\_64 U-Boot UEFI payload](docs/uboot/uboot-x86.md) is also available
on some boards. The x86, x86\_64 and arm64 U-Boot payloads provide a lightweight
UEFI boot implementation, which can boot many Linux distros and BSD systems.
The SeaBIOS and GRUB payloads also boot Linux/BSD systems. Which one you use
depends on your preferences. Libreboot's design incorporates all of these boot
methods in a single image, so you can choose which one you use at boot time,
and more payloads (e.g. Linux kexec payload) are planned for future releases.

Libreboot provides [coreboot](https://coreboot.org/) for [machine
initialisation](https://doc.coreboot.org/getting_started/architecture.html),
which then jumps to a [payload](https://doc.coreboot.org/payloads.html) in
the boot flash; coreboot works with many payloads, but Libreboot specifically
provides SeaBIOS, GRUB and U-Boot as options. Memtest86+ is also provided
in flash, on some mainboards. The payload is the program in flash that provides
the early user interface, for booting an operating system. This *payload*
infrastructure means you can run whatever you want (even Linux!) from the
boot flash.
