  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 I was so impressed with this, that I went ahead and installed it. I haven't had any issues with wifi, the package manager works wonderfully (with a nice collection of packages to choose from), and the layout is very well thought out and looks fantastic. If you're interested in BSD, and you haven't given this a look, I can definitely say that it's worth flashing to a USB and giving it a test drive to see if it jibes with your normal work flow. The NomadBSD team did a lot of work on this, and it definitely shows. Run it as a live USB with persistence, or install it on metal like me. Either way, I think you'll be as impressed as I am. Good Stuff.

 This Operating System lacks of basic wireless network drivers, what is absolutely unacceptable in 2025. I was able to connect to internet, using external wired adapter, but the connection dropped, once I tried running pkg update or open the browser. Installed version of Network Manager is very limited - I could not find graphical network configuration application.
The issues are typical for FreeBSD and all of it's derivatives. FreeBSD is a great Server OS, but as a desktop OS it is still in rudimentary state.

 it is the fastest system for freecad,

I have tested many operating systems with FreeCAD. nomad bsd (installed on the hard drive) is the fastest. I'm totally thrilled. I hope the system will last for a long time.
Here is the installation of FreeCAD as shown below

pkt install freecad

very easy


I've been working with Unix-like systems since the 80s. In my opinion, nomadbsd is the most powerful today. it doesn't slow down the hardware. Nvidia cards also run very well. e.g. gtx 770

Many, many thanks to the developers of nomadbsd
