FuryBSD, a desktop-oriented operating system featuring the Xfce and KDE Plasma desktops, has been updated to version 12.1. The ISO images were actually released to SourceForge on March 8, but the release announcement was only published on the project's website today: "New FuryBSD 12.1 images are available for Xfce and KDE. This new release is now based on FreeBSD 12.1 with the latest FreeBSD quarterly packages. This brings Xfce up to 4.14, and KDE up to 5.17. In addition to updates, these new ISO images mostly address community bugs, community enhancement requests and community pull requests. Changelog: clean-up leftover union dir after install to disk; make sure furybsd-xorg-tool installs the right version for nvidia-driver-390; add nvidia-driver (latest) category to fury-xorg-tool; restore beastie menu and default timeout on live media; add updating documentation; update packages on ISO images to FreeBSD quarterly branch branches/2020Q1; make root mount read write on live image; update ISO image to 12.1 (latest FreeBSD 12.1-p2)...."

| About FuryBSD
|
| FuryBSD is an open-source, desktop-oriented operating system based on FreeBSD. It is an attempt to revive the spirit of other easy-to-use FreeBSD-based projects of the past (e.g. PC-BSD and TrueOS), but it also adds additional convenience in the form of a hybrid USB/DVD image. The project provides separate live images with Xfce and KDE Plasma desktops. FuryBSD is free to use and it can be freely distributed under the BSD license.

BSD Release: FuryBSD 20200907 |
 |
Joe Maloney has announced the availability of a new set of releases by FuryBSD, a FreeBSD-based desktop-oriented operating system featuring the Xfce and KDE Plasma desktops. The images continue to be labelled as "12.1" (to indicate that they are based on FreeBSD 12.1), but they also include a datestamp to differentiate them from any previous FuryBSD 12.1 builds: "FuryBSD 2020-Q3 - the world's first OpenZFS-based live image. In order to provide the most reliable experience possible and while preserving integrity of the system, the live CD now leverages ZFS compression, replication, memory file systems and reroot. Changes since 2020-Q2: 12.1-RELEASE-p9; X.Org 1.20.8, NVIDIA driver 440.100, Xfce 4.14, Firefox 79.0; added check for 4GB minimum system memory to boot the image; replaced UnionFS with compressed ZFS memdisk; added VMSVGA support for VirtualBox 6; replaced Poudriere image with BSDinstall to fix freebsd-update issues after image assembly...." Here is the complete release announcement. Download (pkglist): FuryBSD-12.1-KDE-2020090701.iso (2,283MB, MD5), FuryBSD-12.1-XFCE-2020090701.iso (1,830MB, MD5). Separately, the project's GitHub page has published new "Continuous Build" ISO images with a choice of Lumina, MATE and Xfce desktops, available for both x86_64 and i386 architectures. |
