    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 think OpenBSD is designed very nicely. There’s typically only one correct way to do things. For my purposes everything works excellently, and there’s no confusion when it comes to things that have caused me headaches before on Linux (audio subsystem).

      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).
