FreeBSD to make it easier to enable a desktop environment at install time |
 |
The FreeBSD operating system has generally been viewed as a server-oriented platform. While FreeBSD can be used as a desktop system (with a little effort), its default configuration is to run a text-based terminal environment. There are plans in motion to make it easier to set up and run FreeBSD as a desktop system with the option to install a desktop environment at install time. A post in the FreeBSD Foundation's Project Laptop GitHub repository states: "For FreeBSD 15.0, our goal is to extend the FreeBSD installer to offer a minimal KDE-based desktop as an install option. The initial concept is a low-interaction installation process that, upon completion, brings the user directly to a KDE graphical login screen." Discussions and progress on this effort can be found in this issue report.
