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.
In the new version:
- Instead of UnionFS, a ramdisk with ZFS is used, which uses compression.
- A minimum of 4 GB of RAM is required to boot the live image.
- The poudirere-image script has been replaced with the regular bsdinstall.
- Improved support for touchscreens and trackpads.
- Added VMSVGA virtual graphics adapter for VirtualBox 6.
- Updated Xorg 1.20.8_3, NVIDIA driver 440.100, Drm-fbsd12.0-kmod-4.16.g20200221, Xfce 4.14, Firefox 79.0.1.
- Removed the problematic Xfce screen saver and power settings interface.
