About
Simpleboot and Easyboot are two dependency-free, FLOSS boot loaders. Simpleboot is a small (under 64KB) embeddable boot loader for BIOS, UEFI, Raspberry Pi, and coreboot systems that can boot Linux and simplified Multiboot2 kernels, while Easyboot is a larger interactive boot manager supporting dual-booting multiple OSes across many file systems (FAT, exFAT, NTFS, ext2/3/4, XFS, UFS, BeFS, and more). Both ship a single command-line utility for building bootable disk images from a directory.
Why it made the leaderboard
Gives OS and firmware developers a minimal, dependency-free bootloader option with broad filesystem and multi-platform support instead of relying on GRUB or heavier alternatives.
