## Key points

- Jordan Hubbard has built an independent FreeBSD take on Omarchy.
- Daemonarchy reached ten releases in around ten days.
- AI assistance is part of the project’s rapid development.

## Summary

Jordan Hubbard, one of FreeBSD’s original founders, has created Daemonarchy, an installable FreeBSD system bringing together ports of tools and components used by the Linux-based Omarchy desktop. The project is independent of Omarchy, and its rapid development with AI coding assistance could add to debate about how AI-generated contributions should be handled in FreeBSD.

The current release is version 1.3.1, and the project has issued ten releases in about ten days. Hubbard’s email address is associated with multiple recent FreeBSD ports; the article also notes 18 new ports of Linux tools in a month. The project appears to have been prompted by criticism of the difficulty of setting up FreeBSD 15.1 with an Nvidia graphics card.
