Hello wb7odyfred! I will try your solution in week-end, when I'll have time and tell you if it works or if I need further help.
I got my bachelor's degree this summer, now I'm studying master's degree, so I'm a little bit more than a student![:D]( "Very Happy")
It's a long story how I arrived at GhostBSD. In a nutshell, I became really interested in operating systems, I discovered the philosophy of free and open source and I love it, and I tried in virtual machines many systems that I found (Linux distros, ReactOS, Visopsys, Kolibri, Menuet, Icaros). While they are all interesting systems, the biggest problem of them, besides Linux, it's the lack of apps. So I installed Linux both on my computer and my laptop and use them since (one year ago). This week, I discovered BSD (and its forks), but I discovered that it's a command-line OS and it requires a separate installation of GUI, but I'm a regular computer user, I want a simple installation of an OS. I found forks of FreeBSD on their website (GhostBSD, NomadBSD and MidnightBSD). I didn't manage to install GUI on Midnight, I didn't try Nomad because it doesn't have an ISO image and I heard it's an OS made to run it live, not as a permanent OS (don't know if it's true), and GhostBSD was really simple to install and it works. So it's definitely my choice of BSD. And because I hate monopolies (as Microsoft has on computer's os), I will keep Linux on my main computer but I would like to install another OS on laptop, and ghostbsd seems the best alternative (at least for me). But only if I can install Linux apps on it.
I tried my best to compress the full story but it's still quite a long one![:D]( "Very Happy")
I supported the use of Linux to my friends and other students. I told them there are many distros, and many desktop environments, most of their apps have native linux version, there are many alternatives of apps and they can even run Windows apps through Wine. That they can do dual-boot and choose from start what os to use. I told them that I will install it, or dual-boot it, for them. Unfortunately, they want only Windows. So if it's a "lost battle" for Linux (in my circle), it's definitely for other smaller systems with even less apps and users, too.
After I will try your solution, I will give you a feedback, maybe on Telegram. Thank you for your comprehensive answer and your support!
