Hello everyone

I use FreeBSD to teach university courses and encourage students to use
FreeBSD.
Almost all of my students want to have the FreeBSD operating system on
their laptops, either virtual or real, to start with, and I encounter the
problem of installing a desktop environment on all laptops every day, and
unfortunately, students still cannot install a simple environment like xfce
or mate on their laptops despite spending a lot of time.

Now I had a suggestion:

Is it possible to provide a FreeBSD image with the X environment as the
default, along with various ISO or IMG files or even VMs? So that students
can automatically boot with the X environment by installing it?

Otherwise, is it possible to include a script in the operating system so
that users can automatically install a simple environment like XFCE by
running that script?
