I tried to set up FreeBSD once as a personal goal for accomplishment. After a day or two, I gave up and went back to something Ubuntu-based. I didn’t have the patience for it, but I can imagine there are a lot of benefits to it. I’ve been on Linux Mint for at least the past 3 years, and love it enough that I haven’t even considered trying something new.
I can understand giving up on FreeBSD–OpenBSD at least offers to install & configure a graphical environment with a graphical login screen during the installation process, which makes it much easier to get up and running for desktop or laptop use (on supported hardware).
