After getting my GhostBSD 18.12 fully functional, the new update 19.04 became available. After further reading, Eric Turgeon suggested a full reinstall. Eric modified the True OS base in some form. I did the exact steps as before, and had a successful install. I was quietly jumping for joy. I rebooted the HP laptop, and attempted to boot to the new upgrade. Yet I did not get past the new GhostBSD splash screen. I simply stalled at this image for well over 20 minutes. I tried the official and community supported editions.
I drifted to their Telegram, and posted my issues. Eric and the entire team were quick to troubleshoot the program. Their early suggestions were to change some of my default boot options, yet at this rate I decided to look for other options. It should be noted that I drifted over to the Project Trident project. It is the graphical version of the former TrueOS desktop. I followed the instructions and placed Project Trident onto the HP laptop. I booted the computer and installed using the default options. At this time Project Trident was under the 18.04 version. And it is fully installed with the same issues of having to setup my Wifi. However this time my Realtek wireless card was recognized by the installer, and the Lumina DE is surprisingly refined, polished, and resolved.
After speaking to Project Trident staff and GhostBSD, I made some interesting observations about these 2 similar operating systems, but opposite approaches to creating the BSD end user environment. GhostBSD uses a larger portion of GTK, Project Trident uses Qt. GhostBSD works well with Intel architecture, and Project Trident covers a wider equipment ranges. Unfortunately, my HP laptop is powered by AMD architecture. Currently, GhostBSD is more popular that Project Trident. Next month I will do a fuller review of Project Trident and a proper review of the Lumina desktop.
