Jensen Huang is gone. Nvidia is being run by an accountant tonight

Gaming went from 46% of Nvidia to about 7% with him in charge. Now the CFO is running it.

Better or worse for gamers with him gone?

Can you keep your existing storage when you move from VMware to Proxmox? In most cases, yes. Proxmox connects over the same protocols VMware can, so your IP schema and FC zoning can stay in place. If your SAN has redundant connections, Proxmox can use multipath for speed and redundancy.

What changes is how snapshots and sharing are handled, and that depends on what you run today.

Our guide maps each setup to its Proxmox option, with the catch for each - https://t.co/ZMbRS8QKPR

I never played that deep with C, and that is starting to show.

[Eric Turgeon @Ericbsd]

BluetoothMgr became a really complex piece of software to build. It has two things that make it complex: a daemon that runs as a service, and socket connections can only be made by users in the GUI.
No sudo, doas, polkit. The problem is that one slip-up and you have a vulnerable service.

Right now, what I am facing is that the service seems to affect suspend/resume.

☆ New Video ☆
GhostBSD is never afraid to try new things, in release 26.2, which introduces a slew of new additions. In this rambly video I will take a look at this release.

GhostBSD 26.3.R15.1p6 is now available!

This bug fix release on top of 26.2 fixes the leftover NVIDIA repository files on fresh installs, which made pkg pull NVIDIA drivers onto Intel and AMD systems. It also introduces a new version format with a dot instead of a dash.

Upgrade from 26.2 with Update Station.

Ah, that's an interesting finding.

% pkg version -t 26.2-R15.1p6 26.3-R15.1p6
=
% pkg version -t 26.2-R15.1p6 26.3.R15.1p6
<

So I will change the GhostBSD version to this layout:

26.3.R15.1p6

GhostBSD 26.3-R15.1p6 is building. Should be out tomorrow evening or Saturday.

Why Windows 11 Privacy Is Hard

Windows 11, macOS or Linux? We discuss the privacy trade-offs, why making Windows 11 private is difficult, and why Linux might be worth the switch.

Would you switch to Linux for more privacy?

Fresh GhostBSD 26.2 install? A bug left the NVIDIA repo config behind. Everyone should remove /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/XDrivers.conf and /xdrivers. Non-NVIDIA systems should also pkg delete the NVIDIA packages that got pulled in. Update, reboot.

Upgraded systems are unaffected. 26.3 will be released with the fix. Details: https://t.co/VCZaO1LYdo

GhostBSD October 2026 Finance Report

In October, GhostBSD received 1,436.20 CAD in donations, up 61.9% from October 2025. With 13,365.95 CAD raised by the end of October, we are at 44.6% of our 30,000 CAD goal for 2026.

I am currently looking for an ARM64 server to build GhostBSD for ARM, and we will start saving for a second amd64 build server.

Thank you to all our donors, patrons, and sponsors!

NextBSD 27.0 is getting closer, with only 13 of 34 epics left. 🚀

Gershwin is the default desktop. Should it be the only one at launch, or do you want another option too?

GhostBSD 26.2-R15.1p6 is now available!

This release is based on FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE and brings a new installer that sets up the network and users on first boot, full disk encryption with GELI, a smaller ISO, and Wi-Fi improvements in NetworkMgr.

Upgrading from 26.1-R15.0p2? Run "sudo pkg upgrade update-station" and reboot before upgrading.

GhostBSD 26.2-R15.1p6 is coming soon!

Before upgrading, please update Update Station first by running:

sudo pkg upgrade update-station

Then reboot before running the upgrade with Update Station.

This update fixes issues found while testing boot environment upgrades that could make the upgrade fail or leave a blank screen after reboot.

Note: Update Station now removes the ports and GhostBSD-src packages before upgrading, after asking you to confirm. Reinstall them afterward if you need them.

[Eric Turgeon @Ericbsd]

The release will be 26.2-R15.1p6 instead of 26.2-R15.1p4.

[Eric Turgeon @Ericbsd]

One more test ISO, and I should be able to release GhostBSD-26.2-R15.1p4.
