GhostBSD 26.1-R15.0p2 is now available, and this is one of our biggest releases yet. We are moving to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, switching the default shell to zsh, and adopting XLibre as the default display server. NetworkMGR now supports Enterprise WPA (802.1X/EAP) and WireGuard. Update Station gains boot environment based major version upgrade support. Software Station gets faster package search. And the desktop ships with a new wallpaper, updated icon themes, and new theme variants. A big thank you to everyone who reported issues and contributed to this release. You are what keeps GhostBSD moving forward. Full announcement: ghostbsd.org/news/GhostBSD_2…

GhostBSD.org and forums.GhostBSD.org will be down until the server and the jail are up to date. Sorry for the inconvenience.

GhostBSD 26.2-R15.1p4 now ships drm-612-kmod, FreeBSD’s newest DRM stack (Linux 6.12 LTS). amdgpu, i915, and radeon. Adds RDNA4 (RX 9060/9070) and Intel Meteor Lake/Arrow Lake. It is ready for testing: ci.ghostbsd.org/jenkins/job/…

26.2-R15.1 is getting ready for testing.

This change to Update Station might make some people happy. We'll also do a minor version upgrade in a BE. Also, 26.2 ISO for final testing will be available soon.
