#FreeBSD is building a graphical installer – OSnews
"The next step – perhaps in 2037 – would be to offer a desktop-oriented installation image" I can't tell if the journalist is serious or ironic...

I think it's pretty much pointless anyways. 🤷

Doesn't mean I'm against doing it, but I *do* think the time this will take could also be invested in things giving a lot more benefit. After all, there is quite some complexity attached to it, starting with integrating #Xorg into the #FreeBSD installation process *without* making it a part of base (which I think nobody wants to do, at least I hope so 🙃). I mean, that's a lot to do for the sole benefit to have something that "looks more modern" or whatever. It's not like it will add any *features* to the installer, just a different UI.
