Feature Request: Limine Bootloader support #2285
Comments
Do you have examples where Limine support on removable boot media. A great example would be a public ISO that uses limine for boot instead of GRUB/Syslinux. Otherwise, I'm going to wait for Arch to eat their own dog food and start using Limine for their public ISOs before I look into adding it to Rufus. I also have to say that, the lack of NTFS support might be a bit of a deal breaker considering that, for a modern bootloader, it doesn't seem to concern itself much with other OSes if it limits itself to only ext file systems if you want to have a file that is larger than 4 GB, which isn't too great. I hope that, if they don't only pay lip service to being modern, the Limine developers will not fall into the pitfall that GRUB and Syslinux fell into for a very long time, of consider that what exists outside of the Linux world is irrelevant. Trying to provide proper support Windows environment shouldn't come as a byproduct, but very much be at the core of their design, as, if you do design a modern bootloader that is aimed at replacing GRUB/Syslinux, you really do not want to favour one OS over another... At any rate, I will move this request to deferred for now. |
