GhostBSD 26.1-R15.0p2 is now available, and this is one of our biggest releases yet. We are moving to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, switching the default shell to zsh, and adopting XLibre as the default display server. NetworkMGR now supports Enterprise WPA (802.1X/EAP) and WireGuard. Update Station gains boot environment based major version upgrade support. Software Station gets faster package search. And the desktop ships with a new wallpaper, updated icon themes, and new theme variants. A big thank you to everyone who reported issues and contributed to this release. You are what keeps GhostBSD moving forward. Full announcement: ghostbsd.org/news/GhostBSD_…

It feels good to have the FN key working under GhostBSD finally. For years, I have tried to figure it out. All that time, only one line was needed in sysctl.conf: hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1. That said, why can FreeBSD have that on by default or automatically?

GhostBSD is a user-friendly OS based on FreeBSD but also forging its own unique path. In this video we will take a look at the Mate edition of GhostBSD 26.1. Timestamps available. A Look at GhostBSD 26.1 (Mate Edition) youtu.be/08Wvb0LQJcw?si… via @YouTube #Linux #FreeBSD #Unix

I have been working all weekend on splitting LLVM libs into a new port to remove 1.8G of running dependency from mesa-dri installation. FreeBSD mesa-dri port runtime depends on some LLVM libraries, and FreeBSD installs the whole 2G off LLVM. This should shave a fair amount of space on the ISO. github.com/ghostbsd/ghost…

You are on a nice feature streak recently @Ericbsd :) First GhostBSD based on FreeBSD 15.x ... Then XLibre as X11 display server. Also ZSH as default shell. ... and now last 'desktop' piece is [DONE]. Best FreeBSD desktop just got better ... again :]

I finally managed to fix and improve GELI encryption in pc-sysisntall and GBI. Took me all evenings this week to finally understand how it works with EFI. #issuecomment-4357392352" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/ghostbsd/issue…

Some general updates: - IncogNET turned 5 years old the other day, wow! - We're now a happy new sponsor of @ghostbsdproject, check out the project as it's worthy of your attention. - We also contribute to @FOSSBilling. Although we are not using the software in production, we've been donating a little each month towards the development. - Big upgrade to our DNS service in the works. 20+ POP anycast update (upgrade from the current 4 POP setup) and toying with the idea of a public DoH resolver... More on that later. - Seems we're always a little short on help. Going to push hard this weekend to play catch-up on pending tasks and tickets that may be awaiting review. Thanks for everyone's patience while we try to balance development and updates, day to day housekeeping tasks, support and more.

@ghostbsdproject 2 more deficiencies in 26.1: I'm not sure what I tapped, but this smb4.conf error comes up with no way to dismiss it without rebooting. I suppose I accidentally tapped on the network link in the file manager. Tapping 'close' repeatedly does nothing. It controls focus for the screen. Remember, this is a clean install. I'm coming at it as a Windows refugee.

@ghostbsdproject I'm trying to create a user account on your site so I can post in the forums. I've put in a username, email and password and clicked the Sign Up button. Nothing happens.

@xapt33 It is preferable on a disk, but you can install it beside other OS on the same drive.

@ghostbsdproject The thing that keeps me from running GhostBSD is that it can't be installed on a partition. I'd need to wipe the drive. I could have a separate drive for Ghost, but BSD file system isn't inter-compatible with other file systems. (Let me know if I'm wrong).
