README.md

SymphonyOS by HD Scania: My personal FreeBSD LiveDVD project featuring KDE Plasma, Enlightenment, XFCE, MATE, Trinity TDE, Liri shell, Weston, CDE, and Sway (based on helloSystem and FuryBSD)

Those Live ISO builders build Live ISOs from FreeBSD -STABLE and -CURRENT ingredients. It is based on helloSystem by probonopd and furybsd-livecd by Joe Maloney.

Release

The upcoming release build r0.23.04a01 will be released at my SourceForge files for this project. Maybe parts of them will also be released on CodeBerg, Disroot Git, Gitea.com, or both those all.

Available on official FreeBSD ports

  1. KDE Plasma (my default interface; Wayland and X11; a desktop composition only)
  2. Enlightenment (Wayland and X11; desktop and tiling compositions)
  3. XFCE (X11 only; a desktop composition only)
  4. MATE (X11 only; a desktop composition only)
  5. CDE (X11 only; a desktop composition only)
  6. Sway (Wayland only; a tiling composition only)

Requires my own personal port trees

  1. Trinity TDE (X11 only; a desktop composition only)
  2. Liri shell (Wayland only; a desktop composition only)
  3. Weston (Wayland only; a desktop composition only)

Continuous builds

Continuous builds can be downloaded here. CAUTION: Those are meant for development only. Use at your own risk. Do not use in production environments.

To minimize the amount of data when going from build to build, .zsync files are also provided. More information

It is possible to directly download and move straight to a Ventoy USB stick in one go.

Why nothing GitHub?

Dont you still remember theyre m$-acquired? How sucky their Windows has been, is also if and only if how sucky their GitHub will also always be

Minimal system recommendations for live media

  1. AMD Ryzen 5 3500U or its Intel 4C8T replacements
  2. 15 GiB RAM (14.9GiB = decimal 16GB; only showing live media requirements for minimal physical RAMs; for real h/w installing also better with swap partitions 8GiB+)
  3. HDMI capable of 1920×1080 screen resolution
  4. For -STABLE, an UEFI USB pendrive with Ventoy installed, and then put my LiveDVDs onto the exfat partition, for booting the installer media thru Ventoy (The Ventoy founder has told me he only supports FreeBSD LiveDVDs whose extension is .iso but never LiveUSBs whose extension is .img)
  5. For -CURRENT, an independently dded LiveDVD media on a whole microSD (The Ventoy founder also has told me he will never work for a single -CURRENT based medium)

Credentials for live media

There isnt a single password for liveuser. The liveuser account is removed upon install. There is neither a single root password until it is set in the installer. You can become root using doas su or sudo su.
