PC-BSD or
PCBSD, is a
trademarked Unix-like, desktop-oriented
operating system built upon the most recent releases of
FreeBSD. It aims to be easy to install by using a graphical installation program, and easy and ready-to-use immediately by providing
KDE SC,
LXDE,
Xfce, and
MATE as the
graphical user interface. 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
Microsoft Windows software. PC-BSD is able to run Linux software, in addition to FreeBSD ports, and it has its own
package management system that allows users to graphically install
pre-built software packages from a single downloaded executable file, which is unique for BSD operating systems.
