"GhostBSD has had many changes over the years. When GhostBSD was first released, it was based on FreeBSD. In 2018, the developers decided they would switch it up and rebase the OS on TrueOS. Then, in 2020, TrueOS called it quits, and GhostBSD decided to migrate back to FreeBSD."
"By switching to FreeBSD, GhostBSD also benefits from the latest upstream improvements, which include enhanced hardware support, security updates, and kernel advancements."
"There is one major difference between GhostBSD and FreeBSD: the default desktop environment. While FreeBSD defaults to KDE Plasma, GhostBSD opts for Mate. With GhostBSD going with a lighter-weight desktop environment, the OS feels considerably faster."
GhostBSD has evolved significantly, initially based on FreeBSD, then TrueOS, and returning to FreeBSD in 2020. This transition enhances stability and performance. FreeBSD provides a complete system, unlike Linux, which relies on third-party components. GhostBSD benefits from improved hardware support and security updates. Key changes include a switch to zsh as the default shell, XLibre as the display server, and the adoption of the Mate desktop environment for a faster user experience. The OS is designed to be lightweight with minimal preinstalled software.
