So many FreeBSD desktop projects have ended over the years, it's nice to see a new one. I have come closest to having a BSD desktop with OpenBSD, but my last try with that one ended poorly when I couldn't consistently run Chromium (lots of crashes). I couldn't even get a working GUI in NetBSD. I didn't try FreeBSD this last time around -- maybe I should have. |

I really like FreeBSD and I would be using it as my daily driver except for being unable to access my Citrix desktop at work. I couldn't get Citrix working so I gave up and went back to Linux. Really cool OS though. I got NetBSD working but always had some sort of issue, found it to be more temperamental with my hardware than Free or Open BSD. I did like the NetBSD installer though, although I think the OpenBSD installer might be the easiest if you don't need to do any complex partitioning. |

I had a time when I had to use Citrix. It works in Linux, but I don't think Citrix works well anywhere. For almost all installers, I just accept the default partitioning. I did a recent Debian installation where I did everything in one partition because the drive is only 250 MB. The negatives of separate partitions have been overtaking the benefits for me lately. I had a broken Fedora installation where I was able to save the separate /home partition and reinstall, but that didn't work with me with Debian. I had a backup and had to nuke and pave. |
