LinuxBoot
Linuxboot is a special way to turn on a computer so that it starts using Linux instead of any other operating system. When we turn on a computer, it usually starts with a small program called the BIOS, which checks all the hardware parts to make sure they are working properly. Then, it looks for the operating system to start, like Windows or macOS.
But with Linuxboot, the computer starts with a different program that was created specifically to start Linux. This program is called Coreboot. It works like a mini operating system and is easier to modify and customize than the BIOS.
Once Coreboot starts, it loads the Linux operating system directly into the computer’s memory, bypassing any other software that would normally start up first. This makes the booting process faster and more secure.
Think of it like going to a playground. Normally, you have to go through a gate that only allows specific people in, and there might be a lot of other people inside already. But with Linuxboot, you have your own special gate that only lets you in and takes you straight to your own special playground. And you get there faster and more securely than everyone else.
