[6] Libreboot makes coreboot easy to use by automating the build and installation processes.

[16] The Libreboot project was started in December 2013[6] as a distribution of coreboot, which excludes non-free binary blobs.

[17] Libreboot has been endorsed by the Free Software Foundation, and was an official part of the GNU Project since May 2016.

[18][19] In 2015, Kyle Rankin stated in Linux Journal that Libreboot "greatly simplified and automated" the flashing process, "with a few caveats".

[7][8] In 2016, Bryan Cockfield stated in Hackaday that Libreboot installation was "harrowing" and "not as easy as you'd think".
