认识 FuryBSD：一个新的桌面 BSD 发行版
BSD
在过去的几个月中，出现了一些新的桌面 BSD。之前有 [HyperbolaBSD，它之前是 Hyperbola GNU/Linux](https://itsfoss.com/hyperbola-linux-bsd/)。[BSD](https://itsfoss.com/bsd/) 世界中的另一个新入者是 [FuryBSD](https://www.furybsd.org/)。


### FuryBSD：一个新的 BSD 发行版


![](/data/attachment/album/202002/21/132937uxuttudodyzypsuz.jpg)


从本质上讲，FuryBSD 是一个非常简单的小东西。根据[它的网站](https://www.furybsd.org/manifesto/)：“FuryBSD 一个是基于 FreeBSD 的轻量级桌面发行版。” 它基本上是预配置了桌面环境，并预安装了多个应用的 FreeBSD。目地是快速地在你的计算机上运行基于 FreeBSD 的系统。


你可能会认为这听起来很像其他几个已有的 BSD，例如 [NomadBSD](https://itsfoss.com/nomadbsd/) 和 [GhostBSD](https://ghostbsd.org/)。这些 BSD 与 FuryBSD 之间的主要区别在于 FuryBSD 与现有的 FreeBSD 更加接近。例如，FuryBSD 使用 FreeBSD 安装程序，而其他发行版则用了自己的安装程序和工具。


正如[它的网站](https://www.furybsd.org/furybsd-video-overview-at-knoxbug/)所说：“尽管 FuryBSD 可能类似于 PC-BSD 和 TrueOS 等图形化 BSD 项目，但 FuryBSD 是由不同的团队创建的，并且采用了不同与 FreeBSD 着重于紧密集成的方法。这样可以降低开销，并保持与上游的兼容性。”开发负责人还告诉我：“FuryBSD 的一个主要重点是使其成为一种小型现场版介质，并带有一些测试硬件驱动程序的辅助工具。”


当前，你可以进入 [FuryBSD 主页](https://www.furybsd.org/)并下载 XFCE 或 KDE 的 LiveCD。GNOME 版本正在开发中。


### FuryBSD 的背后是谁


FuryBSD 的主要开发者是 [Joe Maloney](https://github.com/pkgdemon)。Joe 多年来一直是 FreeBSD 的用户。他为 PC-BSD 等其他 BSD 项目做过贡献。他还与 GhostBSD 的创建者 Eric Turgeon 一起重写了 GhostBSD LiveCD。在此过程中，他对 BSD 有了更好的了解，并开始形成自己如何做一个发行版的想法。


Joe 与其他参与 BSD 世界多年的开发者一起加入了开发，例如 Jaron Parsons、Josh Smith 和 Damian Szidiropulosz。


### FuryBSD 的未来


目前，FuryBSD 仅仅是预配置的 FreeBSD。但是，开发者有一份[要改进的清单](https://www.furybsd.org/manifesto/)。包括：


* 可靠的加载框架、第三方专有图形驱动、无线网络
* 进一步整理 LiveCD 体验，以使其更加友好
* 开箱即用的打印支持
* 包含更多默认应用，以提供完整的桌面体验
* 集成的 [ZFS](https://itsfoss.com/what-is-zfs/) 复制工具，用于备份和还原
* Live 镜像持久化选项
* 默认自定义 pkg 仓库
* 用于应用更新的持续集成
* 桌面 FreeBSD 的质量保证
* 自定义、色彩方案和主题
* 目录服务集成
* 安全加固


开发者非常清楚地表明，他们所做的任何更改都需要大量的思考和研究。他们不会改进某个功能，只会在它破坏一些东西时删除或者修改它。

### 你可以如何帮助 FuryBSD？


目前，该项目还很年轻。由于所有项目都需要帮助才能生存，所以我问 Joe 他们正在寻求什么样的帮助。他说：“我们可以帮助[在论坛上回答问题](https://forums.furybsd.org/)、回答 [GitHub](https://github.com/furybsd) 上的问题，完善文档。”他还说如果人们想增加对其他桌面环境的支持，欢迎发起拉取请求。


### 最后的想法


尽管我还没有尝试过，但是我对 FuryBSD 感觉不错。听起来项目在掌握中。十多年来，Joe Maloney 一直在思考如何达到最佳的 BSD 桌面体验。与大多数 Linux 发行版基本上都是经过重新设计的 Ubuntu 不同，FuryBSD 背后的开发者知道他们在做什么，并且他们在更看重质量而不是花哨的功能。


你对这个在不断增长的桌面 BSD 市场的新入者怎么看？你尝试过 FuryBSD 或者会尝试一下吗？请在下面的评论中告诉我们。

Important update

FuryBSD project has been discontinued.

In the last couple of months, a few new desktop BSD have been announced. There is [HyperbolaBSD which was Hyperbola GNU/Linux](https://itsfoss.com/hyperbola-linux-bsd/) previously. Another new entry in the [BSD](https://itsfoss.com/bsd/) world is [FuryBSD](https://www.furybsd.org/).

## FuryBSD: A new BSD distribution

![Fury Bsd](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/01/fury-bsd.jpg)

At its heart, FuryBSD is a very simple beast. According to [the site](https://www.furybsd.org/manifesto/), “FuryBSD is a back to basics lightweight desktop distribution based on stock FreeBSD.” It is basically FreeBSD with a desktop environment pre-configured and several apps preinstalled. The goal is to quickly get a FreeBSD-based system running on your computer.

You might be thinking that this sounds a lot like a couple of other BSDs that are available, such as [NomadBSD](https://itsfoss.com/nomadbsd/) and [GhostBSD](https://ghostbsd.org/). The major difference between those BSDs and FuryBSD is that FuryBSD is much closer to stock FreeBSD. For example, FuryBSD uses the FreeBSD installer, while others have created their own installers and utilities.

As it states on the [site](https://www.furybsd.org/furybsd-video-overview-at-knoxbug/), “Although FuryBSD may resemble past graphical BSD projects like PC-BSD and TrueOS, FuryBSD is created by a different team and takes a different approach focusing on tight integration with FreeBSD. This keeps overhead low and maintains compatibility with upstream.” The lead dev also told me that “One key focus for FuryBSD is for it to be a small live media with a few assistive tools to test drivers for hardware.”

Currently, you can go to the [FuryBSD homepage](https://www.furybsd.org/) and download either an XFCE or KDE LiveCD. A GNOME version is in the works.

## Who’s is Behind FuryBSD?

The lead dev behind FuryBSD is [Joe Maloney](https://github.com/pkgdemon). Joe has been a FreeBSD user for many years. He contributed to other BSD projects, such as PC-BSD. He also worked with Eric Turgeon, the creator of GhostBSD, to rewrite the GhostBSD LiveCD. Along the way, he picked up a better understanding of BSD and started to form an idea of how he would make a distribution on his own.

Joe is joined by several other devs who have also spent many years in the BSD world, such as Jaron Parsons, Josh Smith, and Damian Szidiropulosz.

## The Future for FuryBSD

At the moment, FuryBSD is nothing more than a pre-configured FreeBSD setup. However, the devs have a [list of improvements](https://www.furybsd.org/manifesto/) that they want to make going forward. These include:

- A sane framework for loading, 3rd party proprietary drivers graphics, wireless
- Cleanup up the LiveCD experience a bit more to continue to make it more friendly
- Printing support out of box
- A few more default applications included to provide a complete desktop experience
- Integrated
[ZFS](https://itsfoss.com/what-is-zfs/)replication tools for backup and restore - Live image persistence options
- A custom pkg repo with sane defaults
- Continuous integration for applications updates
- Quality assurance for FreeBSD on the desktop
- Tailored artwork, color scheming, and theming
- Directory services integration
- Security hardening

The devs make it quite clear that any changes they make will have a lot of thought and research behind them. They don’t want to compliment a feature, only to have to remove it or change it when it breaks something.

## How You Can Help FuryBSD?

At this moment the project is still very young. Since all projects need help to survive, I asked Joe what kind of help they were looking for. He said, “We could use help [answering questions on the forums](https://forums.furybsd.org/), [GitHub](https://github.com/furybsd) tickets, help with documentation are all needed.” He also said that if people wanted to add support for other desktop environments, pull requests are welcome.

## Final Thoughts

Although I have not tried it yet, I have a good feeling about FuryBSD. It sounds like the project is in capable hands. Joe Maloney has been thinking about how to make the best BSD desktop experience for over a decade. Unlike majority of Linux distros that are basically a rethemed Ubuntu, the devs behind FuryBSD know what they are doing and they are choosing quality over the fancy bells and whistles.
