Everything worked well for those basic issues. Getting wireless connection was flawless. Sound worked well. Nice looking, smooth working, nothing to complain. Pros: + easy to install + smooth working + MATE desktop + wireless connecting + user friendly Cons: - so far I haven't identified any, at least for very basic use. Nice experience of using something really independent. Was this review helpful?

Also you honestly have to put this BSD distro together yourself, although it does boot to a nice home screen. Good luck trying to get your printer to work.. etc... I don't want to disrespect Eric the developer of this BSD, he's obviously got other things to do as this is a patchwork. Too bad, as BSD is in sore need of dedicated developers and maintainers who can craft something akin to the many Linux distros out there that are done well. GhostBSD behaves like Linux from about 1995 or so. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 22.06.15 Rating: 8 Date: 2022-06-18 Votes: 0 I've given a rating of 8 because I have used this distro for only a couple of hours. After this short period I am left with a feeling of having spent time with a competently put together OS. I haven't successfully installed BSD prior to GhostBSD because I've not been prepared to invest time in the learning curve required to do so. It does seem that the devs of GhostBSD have tamed the installation because I had no issues at all in getting it up and running. It's not just installation the devs seemed to have polished either. All my new laptop components were recognised and worked, and my trusty old workhorse desktop PC also faired equally well. I am a long-time MX Linux user and will continue to be. I make no comparisons between MX and GhostBSD except to say that they both claim to be easy to install, and I agree with them both. If like me you enjoy trying out distros, I do recommend taking GhostBSD for a test drive. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 82 reader reviews of GhostBSD...
