GhostBSD 24.04.1 Is Now Available

I am pleased to announce the release of GhostBSD 24.04.1!

First and foremost, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those who reported issues and contributed their time, effort, and expertise to enhance GhostBSD for this latest release.
 

GhostBSD 24.04.1 is the second release under FreeBSD 14 stable. I have updated the system to 1400510, and the MATE desktop is updated to 1.28.1. This release also contains some bug fixes found in previous releases and with some improvements.
