Just running Unreal Tournament 1 under GhostBSD and linuxulator.
The only issue is avoid the linux script, download instead manually the assets (iso and patches) and dump everything in a folder.
I have a small monitor, at least on my screen the performance is perfect; after all is also a 25 years old game at this point.

I should try to put some mod if I found those which I used, some are hilariously fun.

Perhaps I should leave a small guide.

Stellaris funziona sotto GhostBSD attraverso Linuxulator.
Però funziona male 😆
Non avevo le aspettative opposte, ma ho trovato ottime cose.
La mia versione Gog.com del gioco si installa e si avvia senza bisogno di impostazioni speciali.
La logica del gioco e il suono funzionano fluidi.
La grafica invece salta in modo disastroso, con alcuni glitch.

Forse con FreeBSD potrebbero esserci miglioramenti.

No wrong try the Windows version in this case under wine. In the next days I should try and look if works worse or better.

With this I don't think there is much to do in any case. Maybe there are going to be improvements with FreeBSD 16.0.
Doesn't seems the game logic is slowed down, and there are no audio desynchs or distortions. It must be an issue around graphic drivers calls and the Stellaris engine that is infamous to be pointless heavy in this regards. You have some strutter also on Linux no matter how good is your machine.
In any case works without crashing.

Stellaris under GhostBSD works.
Doesn't work very well thought. 😜
No surprises, but here the good thing.
It runs under compatibility layer without no special settings.
The bad thing, the execution hiccups badly that play it means you want hurt yourself.
... but honestly I player with worse FPS in past on Linux itself.
I have the Gog version that makes it easier to set up.

Some suggestion about what to try to improve it?

I just installed GhostBSD on my 15 year old Asus laptop last week. Everything works. Great experience so far.

Is anyone running GhostBSD? I thought that I would give it a try but latest release is rather buggy on my Lenovo ThinkPad L14. Install appeared to have completed successfully but after reboot, my ethernet connection is not recognized and won't start and when I attempt to connect to my wifi access point, the system just locks. This same laptop seems to run rather well with FreeBSD 15.1.

Cool. Just installed #GhostBSD on my aging laptop. Boots fast, everything seems to work well, I'm connected to my NextCloud instance, have QGIS installed, Really great experience so far.

Update zum Abenteuer GhostBSD

Die Installation auf einem Dell Latitude 5490 (Baujahr 2018/19) verlief erstaunlich unspektakulär. Die Hardware wurde nahezu vollständig erkannt und der Rechner war nach kurzer Zeit einsatzbereit.

Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ist der WLAN-Treiber. Zwar läuft die Verbindung mit dem Intel 8265 stabil, doch FreeBSD unterstützt den Chip derzeit nur bis 802.11a/b/g. Dadurch ist bei etwa 20 MBit/s Schluss. Dieses Problem lässt sich mit einem passenden WLAN-Upgrade für 25 € beheben, denn der Latitude ist sehr schrauberfreundlich.

ZFS war einer der Gründe, warum ich mich auf dieses Abenteuer eingelassen habe. Die eigentliche Überraschung sind für mich aber die Boot Environments. Vor dem Update wird ein Snapshot angelegt. Sollte es zu einem Crash kommen, kann das gesicherte BE gebootet werden. Der grafische Updater (und Paketmanager) erledigt das Snapshotten automatisch. Sympathisch sind mir auch der MATE-Desktop und die gelungene, abgespeckte Auswahl an installierter Software. Firefox und VLC sind die einzigen großen Pakete. Ansonsten gab es Tools für PDFs, Audio, Video, Einstellungen usw.

Mein kleines #FossiVerse ist erneut expandiert

👻 After years of Linux, I tried GhostBSD and found it incredibly stable - and nearly unbreakable // ZDNET

｢ There is one major difference between GhostBSD and FreeBSD: the default desktop environment. While FreeBSD defaults to KDE Plasma, GhostBSD opts for Mate. With GhostBSD going with a lighter-weight desktop environment, the OS feels considerably faster ｣
