The FSF maintains a [certification](ttps://ryf.fsf.org) for computers
|
|
|
|
|
that mostly work without nonfree software.

|
Some (not all) of the computers that received the certification are
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with GNU Boot. In the case of
|
|
|
|
|
[Technoetical](https://ryf.fsf.org/vendors/Technoethical), the
|
|
|
|
|
computers that are compatible already come with GNU Boot installed.

|
As companies listed by the certification are business they are also
|
|
|
|
|
supposed to take care of things behind the hood such as testing
|
|
|
|
|
against hardware defects to make sure that all the hardware work with
|
|
|
|
|
free software (by replacing the WiFi card), make sure the hardware
|
|
|
|
|
really work, etc, and it might be the easiest way for non-technical
|
|
|
|
|
users to get GNU Boot.

If you are a hardware vendor that is or was listed in

https://ryf.fsf.org/vendors/ and that you sold computers that are
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with GNU Boot, please [contact the GNU Boot
|
|
|
|
|
project](../../contact.md): we are looking for information on the
|
|
|
|
|
product being sold (flash chip size, customization, etc) to best

|

|
|
support them.
