the option(for installing a pre-configured desktop) has been postponed until FreeBSD 15.1.😓

Well, with a brief 15 second turning point of your own point of view. One could test drive MATE or XFCE or in near future Gershwin, Desktop Environments with ZFS and boot environments from the live media USB boot drive. AndWith some personal effort, You might install KDE Plasma 6 Desktop Environment, with Robonuggies Youtube Video Channel help.
KDE plasma install on GhostBSD

No harm, no fowl. Live Media setup and test from booting a USB flash drive stick and a >= 4 `ve your FreeBSD and eat your cake too. Why, cause GhostBSD is based on FreeBSD source code. GhostBSD regularly pulls in FreeBSD source code. We maintain our own copy of FreeBSD repositories. We do not have to be at odds, with other BSD solutions to use a desktop. Select what works for your computer workflow. If a Desktop BSD Environment is your goal, GhostBSD can be a solution. Enjoy your computer: FreeBSD, NomadBSD, GhostBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
 
No idea who would want/care about that feature. But then I don't see the sense in pkgbase either. This seems like yet another one of those "if it aint broke, then fix it until it is" situations.

I think the feature will be handy when installing on a new system for me. I prefer Plasma desktop. And Plasma Wayland is nice. If I am going to install it anyway it will be convenient to just install during system install process. So, it's handy for me. But for someone who uses something else or who does not need a display solution it's useless. But still a cool option in my opinion.
