Most user issues come from FreeBSD rather than GhostBSD itself. Common examples include missing or unstable hardware drivers, unsupported wireless adapters, Realtek or Broadcom network issues, and NVIDIA or AMD graphics problems. Other FreeBSD-related cases involve Wi-Fi authentication failures, power management issues such as suspend or resume not working, sound devices not appearing in snd_hda, or storage controller incompatibilities.
GhostBSD, on the other hand, provides tools and configurations that simplify everyday use. Utilities like Update Station, Software Station, and the GhostBSD installer make package management and system setup easier. GhostBSD’s goal is to provide a more approachable desktop experience while keeping the power and flexibility of FreeBSD underneath.
