BSD-XFCE is a collection of scripts and FreeBSD filesystem configurations to install a full-fledged and high-performant XFCE enviroment specially optimized for desktop and workstation use without the hassle and with a very beautiful looking for classic OS X users.
DISCLAIMER: This project doesn't want to be a "OS X clone on FreeBSD" or whatever. The installation of the macOS skinpack is totally optional, the base system installation and configurations are the big deal.
- Installs complete XFCE desktop from latest repo
- Installs Creative Suite (Audio/Video & image editing applications)
- Enables high quality sound server with JACK by default
- Enables automount for many filesystems
- Installs latest NVIDIA / INTEL / AMD graphics drivers (Just edit and use the correct installer script)
- Enables Linux compatibility layer (default CentOS 7)
- Enables webcam support by default
- Enables general system performance for desktop use
- PF Firewall and security flags enabled by default
- Updates CPU microcode
- Improves FreeBSD boot times
Read the code before install, you would like to change some parameters (Drivers for your GPU, sound devices, webcams...)
git clone https://github.com/Wamphyre/BSD-XFCE && sh BSD-XFCE/xfce_desktop.sh
IMPORTANT! READ and EDIT the scripts before execution
Nvidia drivers use: nvidia_gpu_install.sh
Intel drivers use: intel_gpu_install.sh
AMD drivers use: amd_gpu_install.sh
IMPORTANT! Run these scripts with your user, not root.
Step 1: cd xfce4BSD-macOS_skinpack/resources/ && sudo sh install_resources.sh
Step 2 (As regular user): cd xfce4BSD-macOS_skinpack/configurations/ && sh apply.sh
sudo sh creative_suite.sh
Please, use this scripts only in a fresh FreeBSD installation.
At some point, the script will ask you for username to enable XFCE start exec and other services like automount capabilities.
Please, open an issue if you need help or want to suggest something. I will try my best :)
