Limine is a portable boot loader and the reference implementation for the Limine boot protocol.[4] multiboot2, chainloading, and the Linux boot protocols are also supported. Limine supports the ext2, ext3, ext4, ISO-9660, and FAT filesystems.[3]

Limine aims to provide an easier to maintain alternative to bootloaders like GNU GRUB,[5] 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.[4]

Limine is packaged by several Linux distributions, being offered by Arch Linux,[2][6] where it is an option in archinstall,[7][8] as well as included by EasyOS,[9][10] a derivative of Puppy Linux.[11] Limine is also supported by SerenityOS.[12]
