The release of the desktop-oriented distribution GhostBSD 21.09.06, built on the basis of FreeBSD and offering the MATE user environment, has been presented. By default, GhostBSD uses the ZFS file system. It supports both work in Live mode and installation on a hard drive (using its own ginstall installer, written in Python). Boot images are created for x86_64 architecture (2.6 GB).
In the new version:
- To launch services, the use of classic rc.d scripts from FreeBSD has been returned instead of the previously used OpenRC system manager.
- Access to other people's home directories is blocked (chmod 700 is now used).
- Problems with checking for updates have been resolved.
- networkmgr implements automatic switching between wired and wireless networks.
- Added xfce4-screensaver screen saver
- Problems on systems with hybrid graphics (integrated Intel GPU + discrete NVIDIA card) have been resolved.
- VLC media player has SMB client enabled.
