'''Limine''' is a modern,an advanced multiprotocol x86 bootloader for/x86_64 [[BIOS]] and [[UEFI]] bootloader, with support for cuttingthe edgeLinux, features[[Multiboot|multiboot1 suchand as 5-level paging2]], 64-bitand [[LongStivale|stivale1 Modeand 2]], andboot directprotocols higher(and halfserving loadingas thanksthe toreference theimplementation [[stivale]]for bootthese last protocoltwo).

As mentioned above, Limine supports the [[stivale]] boot protocols, alongside Linux's own boot protocol (which means one can boot Linux fully using Limine), multiboot 1 and 2 (allowing it to boot a vast catalogue of hobby OSes and more), and chainloading to allow bootingto unsupportedundirectly thirdboot partyunsupported operating systems such as Microsoft Windows.

It supports the [[FAT|FAT16FAT12/16/32]], [[ext2]], [[ext3]], [[ext4]], [[NTFS]] (experimental, trunk only), and [[ISO 9660]] (used by optical media and hybrid ISO images) filesystems alongside the lesser known [[echfs]] file system.

The [[stivale Bare Bones]] article contains a basic tutorial on how to use Limine and the stivalestivale2 protocol. Furthermore, a GitHub repository containing a simple example oftemplate for a 64-bit kernel loaded withusing Limine can be found in the external links section.
