- Comment: Unreliable sources are still linked and issues have not been fully addressed. The first six sources are all primary. #8 is the only source that appears to be reliable and independent at a glance, and Limine is only discussed as a passing mention there that "it is supported".

Limine aims to provide an more robust alternative to bootloaders like GNU GRUB,[1] 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,[4][5] as well as included by EasyOS, a derivative of Puppy Linux.[6][7] Limine is also supported by SerenityOS.[8]
