FuryBSD 12.1 Release, FreeBSD Live Builds with KDE and Xfce Desktops

Published release of the live distribution FuryBSD 12.1, built on FreeBSD and shipped with assemblies with Xfce (1.8 GB) and KDE (3.4 GB) desktops. The project is being developed by Joe Maloney of iXsystems, which oversees TrueOS and FreeNAS, but FuryBSD is positioned as a community-supported independent project not affiliated with iXsystems.

The live image can be burned to either DVD or USB Flash. There is a stationary installation mode by transferring the Live environment with all changes to disk (using bsdinstall and installing on a partition with ZFS). UnionFS is used to ensure recording in the Live system. Unlike TrueOS-based builds, the FuryBSD project is designed to be tightly integrated with FreeBSD and leverage the core project's work, but optimize settings and environments for desktop use.
