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.

With high hopes, tried installing in a 2012 AMD four core Gateway machine and it got stuck in a "root mount waiting for: CAM" loop and finally booted 15 minutes later. It did this with EVERY boot. The file the forum suggested editing to correct that was empty. Suspend may have worked but there was nothing I could do to get it to resume other than power off and reboot. The desktop is nicely organized, it found the wifi card, seemed to adjust the graphics well, Firefox worked ok but too slow to play videos that were fine on Linux. Sorry to be a downer here. Have been a Debian Linux user for a decade, always on the lookout for something simplified but this just didn't work. Tried it on a 2013 Dell Intel machine with only somewhat better results. Maybe a good work in progress but not ready for prime time just yet.

Nomad-BSD is an amazingly easy way to try FreeBSD. My upload and download speeds have greatly improved over any Linux systems I have used in the past, and I have tried many versions. Since this recent installation, it is my daily driver. All of the installed programs operate without a single flaw, and those programs appear to load and start faster on Nomad-BSD than on any Linux system I used in the past.

Google-Chrome, a Linux version running on Nomad-BSD, starts faster than on Linux. Even LibreOffice runs smoother and faster on Nomad-BSD. All of the regular applications from KDE, Gnome, Mate, and XFCE run flawlessly in Nomad-BSD.

Nomad-BSD automatically installed my HP printer and my videocam as it installed the operating system on my 22-year-old Dell-Studio i-7 desktop. It is obvious that many improvements have been made to the latest installation software. Even though Nomad-BSD will operate on a USB card, I strongly recommend installing to your hard-drive if you want the true speed of Nomad-BSD.

If you have an older video card, watch out. The first thing you need to do is edit /etc/rc.conf. Change kld_list="radeonkms" and reboot your system. All the error messages go away, and your video card works properly. My i-7 literally flies and everything works as it should. Once that is done, install it. You will be amazed at how fast your system runs. By the way, don't install any programs until you put Nomad onto your hard drive. Why, because it works slowly on a stick. Since installing it onto my hard drive, downloading and uploading has also improved. This is FreeBSD at its best, in my opinion. Sadly, I spent hours attempting to get FreeBSD 13.1 to run on my Dell Studio XPS 8100. This unit was built in 2009, and FreeBSD no longer supports their original video drivers. Instead, FreeBSD uses a video driver, Cuse for BSD. That driver causes the video cards to run faster than designed, and the cards stop working because of over-heating. After setting this up, I won't be returning to Linux anytime in the near future. My distro hopping days are over. I am willing to bet that GhostBSD, NomadBSD, and many other BSD have seen numerous complaints since updating to FreeBSD 13.1's official release, and this single issue of the video card driver is responsible for causing all the error messages.
