You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
New racoon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

As a long-time user of BSD-derived Unix environments (from BSD 4.2 to Ultrix to NeXTSTEP to macOS), I confess that one of my biggest annoyances with non-BSD systems is that they don't support Control-T to report the status of the running command (via SIGINFO).
(Thinking back, I suppose I originally got used to this on VMS. I'm surprised nobody has added Control-T to Linux yet, but with their System V heritage they never had SIGINFO and I guess folks don't miss something the…

With all excitement and bling floating around I am enjoying my time today on GhostBSD Mate edition. Well rounded, everything works ootb, quiet styling (I've turned on a Dracula theme of course ;-).
Plus'es: samba , VLC, sound, LibreOffice, generic feel, the Stations (backup, software), sudo (I prefer doas, but newcomers will recognize sudo), install and go.
BSD generic: volume settings (mixer pcm etc), wifi (on a 2018 mini pc with Ryzen 2500U, seriously?) and of course BT are generic issues. Can be solved, but still.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that GhostBSD totally takes care of graphics drivers, dbus et al. I mean DisplayPort at 185hz ootb, great!
All in all a nice one 👍🏻, recommended!
