TrueOS (formerly PC-BSD or PCBSD) is a Unix-like, desktop-oriented operating system built upon the most recent releases of FreeBSD-CURRENT.[1] It aims to be easy to install by using a graphical installation program, and easy and ready-to-use immediately by providing KDE SC, Lumina, LXDE, MATE, or Xfce[2] as the desktop environment. It provides official binary Nvidia and Intel drivers for hardware acceleration and an optional 3D desktop interface through KWin, and Wine is ready-to-use in running of Microsoft Windows software. TrueOS is able to run Linux software,[3] in addition to FreeBSD Ports collection, and it has its own .txz package manager that allows users to graphically install pre-built software packages from a single download link, which is unique for BSD operating systems.
TrueOS supports OpenZFS, and the installer offers disk encryption with geli so the system will require a passphrase before booting.
