Libreboot -- Free your BIOS today!

This talk introduces Libreboot, a fully free, open-source firmware distribution designed to replace proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware on supported Intel, AMD, and ARM systems.

Libreboot is a coreboot distribution (coreboot distro), in the same way that Debian is a Linux distribution. Libreboot provides free, open source (libre) boot firmware based on coreboot, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware on specific Intel/AMD x86 and ARM based motherboards, including laptop and desktop computers. It initialises the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) and starts a bootloader for your operating system (OS). Linux and BSD are well-supported.

Why replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware matters for security, transparency, and freedom?
