Now their is very much a crazy claim. Honestly this entire thread has been full of WTF. I've been using FreeBSD for desktop purposes since like late 2001/early 2002. The only issue I've ever had is X -configure does a shit job of picking defaults at times, but that is not a FreeBSD issue. Yes, X tends to lag a bit behind Linux, but all in all X is a much better experience on FreeBSD than Linux. One of the big thing that really stands out between the two is screen tearing is rare on FreeBSD compared to Linux. Lets not also forget how long it took Linux to get their ducks in a row with unfucking their packaged fonts. X works well enough under FreeBSD that I honestly use it for gaming via wine. Personally I am proud and happy with what our X team has done with it, especially with Intel chipset support since like 10, making using it on a broader number of laptops all that more awesome. In 11 it is completely goat fragging wiz with the new KMS stuff. <3
