Libreboot is just a more strict about freedom coreboot from what I understand. As in it is literally a fork/derivative of coreboot.

Ah got it. With the recent GNU drama of libreboot I wonder how viable it really is as an ecosystem.

Personally I think the FSF ideology taken too far is pretty ridiculous anyway.

Another difference is that Coreboot is essentially a rolling release, whereas Libreboot periodically takes a snapshot of upstream and maintains it for a while. Libreboot is therefore something like a long-term service release.

Anecdotally, I also found Libreboot easier to build. There is less configuration involved.

It's a distribution of coreboot + GRUB, 100% free of any proprietary blobs. Not really a "fork".
