I intended to write further about the Lumina Desktop. However Project Trident recently decided to leave the FreeBSD base for its OS. They will continue to operate using Void Linux for further development. The TrueOS is no longer a workstation-focused product as being developed by iXsystems, TrueOS is now a server OS almost. Consequently, it is hard for Project Trident to continue using the FreeBSD base.
They cite Void Linux being the most BSD like Linux, since a former NetBSD developer created Void Linux. The Project Trident developers hope a synergy relationship will develop between Void Linux and their work.
I hoped to continue to use Project Trident for the ZFS file system, Lumina Desktop, and the BSD kernel obscurity. Yet I wonder if ZFS will work on the Linux kernel. I understand that Lumina works flawlessly with BSD, but will it be marginally operating on the Linux environment? In the end, I want to use BSD for one of my laptops.
So the desire to use BSD is now making me look into other options. I could use OpenBSD, GhostBSD, or MidnightBSD. I never ventured into the realm of OpenBSD. It is the second most popular BSD OS. It is known for being rock solid, reliable, and easy to install. Additionally, it is focused on being secure. However FreeBSD and OpenBSD require a configuration file skillset that most end users lack. So I am left with fewer options.
I like GhostBSD and MidnightBSD, but both are the easy BSD options. There is a new OS called FuryBSD. FuryBSD is a new BSD on the scene. The developer, Joe Maloney, is an iX systems developer. It is only a few months old. It does not rely on the TrueOS platform, but relies solely on FreeBSD. The default DE is XFCE.
I installed FuryBSD without issue onto the laptop. I will have to configure my WiFi Card for the laptop. I hope to follow the instructions from the FreeBSD manual for activating my WiFi. I did not notice there is no software center for FuryBSD. I will have to use the terminal to install packages, system updates, and software apps, to make the OS fully functional.
