Comparing the different desktop-oriented variants of FreeBSD, how do they differ? I was originally just going to install GhostBSD as the default newbie “batteries included” flavor but I learned that it requires 8 GB of RAM which while my old ThinkPad has does have, gives me pause about whether or not it has all that many performance benefits over say running a Linux like Pop! OS or elementaryOS. So I’m curious how the lightweight NomadBSD is like for desktop users or the other one that exists but people don’t talk much about.

I assumed the command would be something along the lines of ' doas mport install firefox' which it very well could be, but the package is not in the index. Do I need to update the index or add it in manually if so how?
