GhostBSD Deep Dive - Week 1 (Edited)
EP3 - Week 1 of the 45-Day GhostBSD Challenge
This is the edited version of Week 1 where I finally kick off the challenge properly.
In this episode:
- Fresh install of GhostBSD 26.1-R15.0p2 (FreeBSD 15.0 baseline) on the Comet Lake NUC
- Setting up ZFS as the root filesystem
- Fixing hardware acceleration (moving from VESA/software rendering to i915kms)
- First ZFS boot environment baseline created
- Success getting my OnTime rundown AppImage running via Linuxulator
- Honest hardware reality check: Lenovo T16s & GMKtec Ryzen AI 300 machines still failing to boot
Also sharing my thoughts on Age Verification laws and why I'm testing Parrot OS Home alongside FreeBSD.
This is the real beginning of the journey — no hype, just honest progress and friction.
Next week: Deeper into jails + PF, daily driver workflows, and more hardware testing.

I would like to use this channel to give back to the community what I have learned from others. I cover a wide range of topics on computing technology from Home Server setup on a budget, Linux for general use (workstation, server and development), High P...
