ravynOS "Hyperpop Hyena" Developer Preview Release v0.6.0

Welcome to the 0.6.0 Developer Preview of ravynOS!

⚠️ As usual, this is an unstable pre-release of upcoming stuff intended for people helping build the system. It is not complete. It contains bugs - sometimes serious ones - including application and desktop crashes and even kernel panics. You have been warned.

This release mainly updates the FreeBSD components to the stable/15 branch. The UI is a functional, although minimal, desktop environment with SystemUIServer (top menu bar), LoginWindow, and Dock, similar to v0.5.2. A very basic proof-of-concept Terminal.app is also bundled.

You should see a login screen shortly after booting, where you can log in as liveuser with no password. After login, you should see a desktop with menu bar, Dock, and wallpaper.

You can exit WindowServer by pressing Command-Shift-Q (Command is usually your OS logo key) followed by Alt-F2 for a console login prompt in case things get funky.

Bug fixes, Limitations and Known issues

See open issues for the full list.

Global display coordinates are not implemented. Only one display is currently supported.

NSWindow and WindowServer do not currently support OpenGL. This will be added back once we have acceleration again. (Long term plans are to support Metal.)

Using a PS/2 mouse or keyboard emulation with virtio may cause input lag. Use USB devices.

Please see the wiki for system requirements, install instructions and where to find things.

Ask questions or give feedback in the Discussions area. Please report any bugs to the Issues tracker. Your help in fixing said bugs would be appreciated too! Thanks!

I got 0.6.1 booted on VirtualBox. Trying to find a place to upload a screen shot. Maybe in the next ISO have neofetch also installed? That'd be cool.

[NitroNils]

neofetch is unmaintained.
fastfetch is maintained.

[einar83]

Ah ok. I prefer fastfetch anyhow, just saw neofetch in one of the screenshots.
