I am pleased to announce the release of GhostBSD 23.10.1!
First, I want to thank everyone who helped improve GhostBSD for this release. From reporting bugs, submitting translations, contributing to fixing issues and developing new features, offering community support, actively testing, and helping with documentation. Thank you!
Thank you all for your support and donations. It helps to keep the project infrastructure to build and deliver GhostBSD running.

Last Friday morning, I tried to upgrade the website from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10. I always do a backup, but I did not this time, and the upgrade went wrong. If you got to the website, you might have noticed PHP errors. I tried to recover what I broke, but I could not recover.
I decided after work to redo the website. There is still some missing news article, but everything from this year is there. I still have the old website working and I will slowly add them.
Thank you all for your support and donations. It helps to keep the project infrastructure to build and deliver GhostBSD running.
First, I want to address an error in the January to July 2023 donation report. GhostBSD accumulated 2474.0 CAD from donations through PayPal instead of 3037.0 CAD. There was a bug in the automation script calculating the donation revenue. The total for the January to July 2023 donation report is 5781.94 CAD.
Thank you all for your support and donations. It helps to keep the project infrastructure to build and deliver GhostBSD running.
From January to July 2023, GhostBSD accumulated 6344.94 CAD. 3307.94 CAD was from Patreon, and 3037.0 CAD was from PayPal. At this time last year, GhostBSD made 5904.40 CAD, an augmentation of 440.54 CAD compared to last year. There is 13655.06 left to accomplish our goal of 20000 CAD.
It is a late report, but I decided to release it anyway. First of all, thank you all for your help and donations. It helps to keep the project infrastructure to build and deliver GhostBSD.
So last year, GhostBSD accumulated 11077.95 CAD from Patreon and PayPal. It is a deficit of 4395.55 CAD compared to 2021 and a deficit of 198.25 CAD compared to 2020. The goal for 2022 was 20000 CAD. Since the project made 11077.95 CAD, it is a deficit of 8922.05 CAD.
The goal for 2023 is to stay at 20000 CAD.

This has been a long time since I have officially released an ISO. With all the difficulties and issues I encounter with the new Xorg version and old Nvidia drivers, this new ISO is overdue. 23.06.01 contains many bug fixes, security fixes, and feature improvements. For details, see the changelog below.
I have read a lot of comments, posts, and tweets lately. I have been reflecting a lot, and I think it is time to rename GhostBSD to GhostOS and switch the base system to Arch. After all, from the comment below, GhostBSD will never become popular if we do not become GNU and FSF compliant.
I want to thank all our sponsors, patrons, and donors who donated to GhostBSD through 2022 with their hard-earned money. The total amount donated last July was $941.89. This year, GhostBSD has accumulated 5904.40 CAD so far. This year our goal is 20,000 CAD. 2022 earnings are behind last year, but I understand we are going through a difficult time. Thank you all for your support.
This new ISO contains a critical fix and software updates. For details, see the changelog below.
The last change to automount was untested, and the live iso was automating all internal drives and caused serious partitioning issues and installation problems. I am sorry to everyone who tried to install GHostBSD and had issues.
