TrueOS (formerly PC-BSD or PCBSD) is a discontinued[3] Unix-like, server-oriented operating system built upon the most recent releases of FreeBSD-CURRENT.[4]

Up to 2018 it aimed to be easy to install by using a graphical installation program, and easy and ready-to-use immediately by providing KDE SC, Lumina, LXDE, MATE, or Xfce[5] as the desktop environment. In June 2018 the developers announced that since TrueOS had become the core OS to provide a basis for other projects, the graphical installer had been removed.[6] Graphical end-user-oriented OSes formerly based on TrueOS were GhostBSD and Trident.[7] TrueOS provided official binary Nvidia and Intel drivers for hardware acceleration and an optional 3D desktop interface through KWin, and Wine is ready-to-use for running Microsoft Windows software. TrueOS was also able to run Linux software[8] in addition to FreeBSD Ports collection and it had its own .txz package manager. TrueOS supported OpenZFS and the installer offered disk encryption with geli.

Development of TrueOS ended in 2020.[3]
