TrueOS 不再想要成为“桌面 BSD”了
BSD TrueBSD
[TrueOS](https://www.trueos.org/) 很快会有一些非常重大的变化。今天，我们将了解桌面 BSD 领域将会发生什么。


### 通告


![TrueOS: Core Operating System BSD](/data/attachment/album/201807/13/225349lgbvc4gnx0szecwa.jpg)


[TrueOS](https://www.trueos.org/) 背后的团队[宣布](https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueosdownstream/)，他们将改变项目的重点。到目前为止，TrueOS 使用开箱即用的图形用户界面来轻松安装 BSD。然而，它现在将成为“一个先进的操作系统，保留你所知道和喜欢的 ZFS（[OpenZFS](http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Main_Page)）和 [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/)的所有稳定性，并添加额外的功能来创造一个全新的、创新的操作系统。我们的目标是创建一个核心操作系统，该系统具有模块化、实用性，非常适合自己动手和高级用户。“


从本质上讲，TrueOs 将成为 FreeBSD 的下游分支。他们将集成更新一些的软件到系统中，例如 [OpenRC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenRC) 和 [LibreSSL](http://www.libressl.org/)。他们希望能坚持 6 个月的发布周期。


其目标是使 TrueOS 成为可以作为其他项目构建的基础。缺少图形部分以使其更加地与发行版无关。


### 桌面用户如何？


如果你读过我的[TrueOS 评论](https://itsfoss.com/trueos-bsd-review/)并且有兴趣尝试使用桌面 BSD 或已经使用 TrueOS，请不要担心（这对于生活来说也是一个很好的建议）。TrueOS 的所有桌面元素都将剥离到 [Project Trident](http://www.project-trident.org/)。目前，Project Trident 网站的细节不多。他们仿佛还在进行剥离的幕后工作。


如果你目前拥有 TrueOS，则无需担心迁移。TrueOS 团队表示，“对于那些希望迁移到其他基于 FreeBSD 的发行版，如 Project Trident 或 [GhostBSD](https://www.ghostbsd.org/) 的人而言将会有迁移方式。”


### 想法


当我第一次阅读该公告时，坦率地说有点担心。改变名字可能是一个坏主意。客户将习惯使用一个名称，但如果产品名称发生变化，他们可能很容易失去对项目的跟踪。TrueOS 经历过名称更改。该项目于 2006 年启动时，它被命名为 PC-BSD，但在 2016 年，名称更改为 TrueOS。它让我想起了[ArchMerge 和 Arcolinux 传奇](https://itsfoss.com/archlabs-vs-archmerge/)。


话虽这么说，我认为这对 BSD 的桌面用户来说是一件好事。我常听见对 PC-BSD 和 TrueOS 的一个批评是它不是很精致。剥离项目的两个部分将有助于提高相关开发人员的关注度。TrueOS 团队将能够为缓慢进展的 FreeBSD 添加更新的功能，Project Trident 团队将能够改善用户的桌面体验。


我希望两个团队都好。请记住，当有人为开源而努力时，即使是我们不会使用的部分，我们也都会受益。


你对 TrueOS 和 Project Trident 的未来有何看法？请在下面的评论中告诉我们。

OK
There are some really big changes on the horizon for [TrueOS](https://www.trueos.org/). Today, we will take a look at what is going on in the world of desktop BSD.

### The Announcement

The team behind [TrueOS](https://www.trueos.org/) [announced](https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueosdownstream/) that they would be changing the focus of the project. Up until this point, TrueOS has made it easy to install BSD with a graphical user interface out of the box. However, it will now become “a cutting-edge operating system that keeps all of the stability that you know and love from ZFS ([OpenZFS](http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Main_Page)) and [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/), and adds additional features to create a fresh, innovative operating system. Our goal is to create a core-centric operating system that is modular, functional, and perfect for do-it-yourselfers and advanced users alike.”

Essentially, TrueOs will become a downstream fork of FreeBSD. They will integrate newer software into the system, such as [OpenRC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenRC) and [LibreSSL](http://www.libressl.org/). They hope to stick to a 6-month release cycle.

The goal is to make TrueOS so it can be used as the base for other projects to build on. The graphical part will be missing to make it more distro-agnostic.

### What about Desktop Users?

If you read my [review of TrueOS](https://itsfoss.com/trueos-bsd-review/) and are interested in trying a desktop BSD or already use TrueOS, never fear (which is good advice for life too). All of the desktop elements of TrueOS will be spun off into [Project Trident](http://www.project-trident.org/). Currently, the Project Trident website is very light on details. It seems as though they are still figuring out the logistics of the spin-off.

If you currently have TrueOS, you don’t have to worry about moving. The TrueOS team said that “there will be migration paths available for those that would like to move to other FreeBSD-based distributions like Project Trident or [GhostBSD](https://www.ghostbsd.org/).”

### Thoughts

When I first read the announcement, I was frankly a little worried. Changing names can be a bad idea. Customers will be used to one name, but if the product name changes they could lose track of the project very easily. TrueOS already went through a name change. When the project was started in 2006 it was named PC-BSD, but in 2016 the name was changed to TrueOS. It kinds of reminds me of the [ArchMerge and Arcolinux saga](https://itsfoss.com/archlabs-vs-archmerge/).

That being said, I think this will be a good thing for desktop users of BSD. One of the common criticisms that I heard about PC-BSD and TrueOS is that it wasn’t very polished. Separating the two parts of the project will help sharpen the focus of the respective developers. The TrueOS team will be able to add newer features to the slow-moving FreeBSD base and the Project Trident team will be able to improve user’s desktop experience.

I wish both teams well. Remember, people, when someone works on open source, we all benefit even if the work is done on something we don’t use.
