GhostBSD 26.2 takes the fright out of FreeBSD with a friendlier installer
GhostBSD, a user-friendly variant of FreeBSD aimed at desktop users, has released version 26.2-R15.1p6 based on FreeBSD 15.1. The update includes a new graphical installer, full-disk encryption support, and a reduced installation image size. It also features fixes for desktop tools and aims to bridge the gap between Linux desktop convenience and FreeBSD's traditionally more complex setup process. The release was inspired by gaps in KDE Plasma integration that remain in the main FreeBSD 15.1 branch.
