I've heard that it's very good, but it's different, that's why it's not very "used".


Different must mean STABILITY from 40+ years of history! Not very "used" on a desktop is possibly true.  GhostBSD is making a difference on the Desktop useage of FreeBSD 13.0 Operating System.

 Netflix uses FreeBSD for its video distribution, so networking is very fast and stable.  GhostBSD uses the MATE desktop GUI as you can see from the video above.   GhostBSD produces a stable, easy to use, graphical desktop that should change the "not very used" Myth.  You should test drive on your present PC hardware.  4Gbytes dram, 1.5Ghz CPU, a good external USB 3.0 SATA  SSD 120GB or larger makes a perfect method to run GhostBSD O/S on your present PC hardware.   You make the decision, is GhostBSD great to use as a stable desktop on your PC.  Many new users comment how easy, about 10 minutes to install on their PC.  You can test drive GhostBSD MATE 1.26 from a single USB 4GB flash drive.  GhostBSD loads from the USB flash drive into your ram memory.  You can remove the USB flash drive from the usb slot and continue to run and test operations. To install click the GBI icon, choose the use the full disk to write into that blank SSD you installed inside the PC or added externally with a USB 3.0 Sata Drive (hard disk or solid state disk )


Download the file  https://ghostbsd.org/download select latest version.   Burn/Write to a USB 4GB flash drive. Boot it up the live image, and try GhostBSD MATE for yourself.  GhostBSD is based on FreeBSD 13.0 Stable.  FreeBSD started in October 1993 all code rewritten with a 'Free' version of the AT&T Unix BSD version Code.  Look at the History graph.
