Install GUI?

[moonmoonbird]

Hi, Can we install gnome3 on Opnsense for desktop user?

Rather defeats the object of Opnsense being a firewall, not a desktop PC.

yeah, sure, but for develop and debug convenience, i try to figure out is there anyway to achieve this, or any pioneer have did this before successfully. Thanks.

To easily pull and push files use ssh. I use WinSCP to pull and push the files from my windows PC, it doesn't even copy them to the PC. It just feeds them into the editor I've selected, in my case notepad++ and saves them back when I save the file. Either that or use nano from the shell.

Will it run Crysis? Or at least Doom? 

Sorry, but what is your intention? What kind of development you need a graphical GUI on the OPNsense for?

Hmm great idea, we could have a Doom match and shred each other... "Impressive!"🤪

Opnsense is just a hardenedbsd variant.. if you really want.. install xorg, then install xfce (or any windows manager that you want).. to start just startx

Just remember to check which video card you have, as the list of supported cards is limited unless you can live with 1024x768 or lower.

You are funny guys,hah hah,my intention is to debug locally, not remote debug, i want to install IDE for PHP and Python like Zendstudio,Pycharm, is that possible?
i will try xorg and xfce, so keep me updated...
