I’m liking GhostBSD. It’s a very user-friendly FreeBSD with a nice GUI desktop.

I've been playing with GhostBSD too, since all that stuff about Linux going full-on politically correct and kicking the Russian maintainers out. Down even to the kernel itself, the whole Linux userland is "woke" and going corporate-owned and corporate-developed. I'm messing around with NomadBSD too!

Can one just switch from Linux kernel to GNU-Herd kernel, and keep using Ubuntu or Debian?

I haven't checked om Hurd in a long time. Maybe it works now

I'd love to know if it would work on a distro like MX-Linux or even one of those Ubuntu-based distros.

Poking around in GhostBSD's packages I found some Debian and Ubuntu emulators in there! Very strange to see that, even though I'd never use them.

I'm all in favor of making BSD "newbie friendly" with GUI tools and stuff, but making any Linux or BSD OS "for Windows users" doesn't make any sense to me at all. Windows is a bloated, complicated mess! The last thing I want in an alternate OS is for it to "look" like Windows or act like Windows for cry'n out loud.

I'm a GUI boy as much as possible because I'm always scared I'll push the wrong button and ignite the Earth's atmosphere and destroy all life on the planet or something. GhostBSD is making that possible (as much as it is possible on BSD). You can always dual-boot until it gets cofortable.
