I was running Arch Linux but something stopped working and it just wasn't worth it anymore. I tried Fedora and Ubuntu as well and they all failed. Then I thought to try GhostBSD and it worked on the first shot and was easy for me because I was an OpenBSD developer in 1990s. Many Thanks.

@kstailey Thanks for sharing your experience.

I tried on a 2013 Mac Pro and no-go -- (sad trombone). I don't blame GhostBSD or even FreeBSD, it's just a hard machine to reliably run non-macOS on -- even Linux and Windows 10 ran poorly on it.

Thanks again!

Oh, the WiFi doesn't work yet. But I never take it out because the battery doesn't hold a charge.
