ravynOS

Finesse of macOS. Freedom of FreeBSD.

We love macOS, but we're not a fan of the ever-closing hardware and
ecosystem. So we are creating ravynOS -- an OS aimed to provide the
finesse of macOS with the freedom of FreeBSD.

This is a developer preview image that's mainly intended for helping
build the system. You will need real hardware to run it. It should
work on any hardware supported by FreeBSD-CURRENT (14.0) with at
least 2GB (8GB recommended) RAM.
PLEASE NOTE: On 2022-02-14, we decided to abandon the current path of
using X11/KDE desktop components and write from scratch a new UI that
will align better with our goals. A very early UI on the new
WindowServer is starting to take shape as of 2022-07-27. Thanks for
your patience as we work to make ravynOS the best possible version.

Project Goals

Features that you'd love.

We intend to bring many of the features you've come to love from
macOS to ravynOS like clean design, global menus, and drag-and-drop
installs.

Apps

We've got your apps covered.

Many FreeBSD ports and apps, Linux apps, and even trivial Darwin &
macOS binaries can run on ravynOS. And we're actively working on
improving it!

  * ravynOS, Always

    We're building familiar apps native to ravynOS, packaged as
    portable .app bundles and built with our core technologies of
    Cocoa, Qt, and Mach. These are guaranteed to work and fit
    seamlessly into your desktop.

  * FreeBSD, Mostly

    FreeBSD ports that support Wayland continue to work on ravynOS
    right out of the box, or with minor changes.

  * Linux, Sometimes

    Many Linux applications that support Wayland are expected to work
    with FreeBSD's Linux emulation layer.

  * macOS, Maybe

    Trivial macOS and Darwin applications may run directly on
    ravynOS. This is an active area of work and research.
    AppKit-based source code may build and run natively.

Sometimes we get covered.

This article appeared on Phoronix. XDA recently wrote about us. Bryan
Lunduke covered airyxOS and helloSystem on Substack. Console issue #
67 featured us along with an interview! LinuxGameCast gave an early
version a look in their LWDW episode 287.
