- <p>
- Any distribution should work, so long as it uses kernel mode setting for graphics.
- We recommend using distributions that are entirely free software; most distros
- out there have proprietary software in them, but the ones that we recommend
- do not have proprietary software by default.
- </p>
- <p>
- Note: we are not the Free Software Foundation. The recommendations here
- consist of both FSF-endorsed and non-FSF-endorsed distros.

- <h2>Debian GNU/Linux</h2>
- <p>
- Most of the developers use it (Leah Rowe always uses testing
- releases of Debian). We recommend Debian stable releases for
- most users. If you want to do development, e.g. libreboot
- development, then you should use the testing release of Debian.
- </p>
- <p>
- Debian by default comes without non-free software in the default
- installation or repos. There is a non-free repo that's not added
- by default. Just avoid adding this, and you should have a fully
- free system.
- </p>

- </p>
- <h2>Parabola GNU/Linux</h2>
- <p>
- Fully free bleeding edge distribution, based on <em>Arch Linux</em>.
- Good for saavy users and developers in general (some libreboot developers
- use this).
- </p>
- <p>
- Arch users, refer to the <a href="https://wiki.parabola.nu/Migration_from_the_GNU/Linux_distribution_of_Arch">Parabola migration guide</a>.
