The latest release of GhostBSD, an easy graphical FreeBSD distribution, includes a brand new macOS-like desktop environment, "Gershwin."

GhostBSD 25.02-R14.3p2 appeared on Monday as the second release of 2025. The rather long and complicated version numbering system was explained in the announcement for 2025's first release , which was 25.01-R14.2p1.

We last looked at GhostBSD a couple of years ago, and liked what we saw. This version is based on FreeBSD 14.3. It fixes some bugs, improves hardware handling (for instance, it works better with sound controllers that have more than two outputs), and enhances detection (especially for certain AMD and Nvidia cards). This version adds automatic /tmp directory clearing, updates Wi-Fi drivers, and fixes issues with several of its bundled apps.
