On that topic...</p><p>There's a fun presentation that I could offer from my workstation builds involving GhostBSD: "SED/OPAL full disk encryption on NVMe, tuning EPYC Zen5 and ZFS mirror for the OS". </p><p>Clearly that would need a better name, but there's some usefulness given that Ghost doesn't support the usual GELI encryption scheme in the installer, and then... FDE with SED has no processing overhead like GELI, no perf io reduction required. Zen4 and Zen5 benefit from quite a bit of system tuning for FreeBSD based workstations, so that's important for considerations.</p><p>Once the movers stop holding my homelab hostage and deliver my life's belongings, then I'll be able to generate a presentation on the subject.

Dendrobatus Azureus<p>A nice post about switching from a Linux distribution to freeBSD.</p><p>Quote <br>&gt;&gt;<br>The interesting thing here is that both are similar and yet very different, mainly owing to their very different histories, with freeBSD being a direct derivative of the original UNIX and its BSD derivative. One of the most significant differences is probably that Linux is just a kernel, with (usually) the GNU/Hurd userland glued on top of it to create GNU/Linux. GNU and BSD userland are similar, and yet different, with varying levels of POSIX support. This effectively means that freeBSD is a singular OS with rather nice documentation (the FreeBSD handbook).</p><p>The basic summary here is that freeBSD is rather impressive and easy to set up for a desktop, especially if you use a customized version like GhostBSD. <br>&gt;&gt;</p><p><a href="https://hackaday.com/2025/06/29/switching-from-desktop-linux-to-freebsd/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hackaday.com/2025/06/29/switch</span><span class="invisible">ing-from-desktop-linux-to-freebsd/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPL</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kernel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kernel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ghostBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ghostBSD</span></a> </p><p>^Z</p>

Nothing you can't have with vanilla <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> just as well.
