My initial thoughts of XFCE on FreeBSD

Thanks. It's refreshing to see content on freebsd on YouTube from someone like this YouTuber. I started off on freebsd many moons ago ( I think freebsd 3.0 was the big upgrade with SMP on dual Celeron machines with some Taiwanese motherboard ) and have always had a fond spot for it. Spent sooooo many hours trying to rebuild and recompile library dependencies and kernel tweaks that it was almost an expectation. This was all alongside some Slackware tinkering.

Then used openbsd at work. And Solaris/redhat etc.

Until Ubuntu.

It's just so darn easier for most things. And it just works. Debian++.

Still like installing freebsd once in a while on a VM to tinker on, and some services are probably still best run on it comparing to others.

But using freebsd as a desktop? .. not sure I'd go that far.
