TrueOS is FreeBSD based operating system with ZFS.
TrueOS is a cutting-edge FreeBSD graphical desktop operating system designed with ease-of-use in mind.

Installation
Preparation of an installation
Click the 'Browse' button of the 'Browse Downloads' menu of the above link.
Enter into /master/amd64/
Download TrueOS-Desktop-18.03-x64-USB.img file. The file size is about 2.75 GB.
Download Etcher to burn an img file on a USB media to make a bootable USB drive. Just download the portable version, not the installer version.
Etcher-Portable-1.4.4-x64.exe
You need a 4 GB USB flash drive.
Process of an installation
Select "Customize Disk Settings" at "Disk Selection".
Select "Advanced (Experienced with file systems)" at "Setup Mode".
Choose a disk or partition which you want to install TrueOS. Full dick encryption is only able on GPT, not on MBR. GELI (for FreeBSD) only supports GPT.
https://www.trueos.org/handbook/install.html#zfs-layout
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-encrypting.html
You can use GPT even if you have a mainboard that doesn't support UEFI. But Windows only supports "BIOS supporting UEFI + GPT" or "legacy BIOS + MBR". So if you want to install Windows and TrueOS together, you should use a motherboard supporting UEFI.
TrueOS can be installed on a GPT partition, primary MBR partion, or free space. It can't be installed on a secondary or an extended partition.
https://www.trueos.org/handbook/install.html#basic-mode
You can't make or delete partitions when you install TrueOS. You made partitions before installation of TrueOS. Or you should use an entire disk. And geli only supports GPT, not MBR.
If you finish "Customize Disk Settings" of "Disk Selection", select "Install to disk" and click the Next button.
A boot environment is a snapshot for a specific time. You can use the boot environment, when your operating system's update fails. You don't need choose "Install into Boot Environment".

Setting during an installation
Remove the USB flash drive and reboot the system. Then you can see a message such as "GELI Passphrase for disk0p2:"
Just input your passphrase for full disk encryption.
And then, it asks you what password you want as a root password. Type what you want.
And you can make user on "User Details" tab. Input "username" and "password".
Next tab is "PersonaCrypt". PersonaCrypt device is a removable USB media.
