What happened to FreeBSD? :-( FreeBSD for desktop is still not a thing. It won't change anytime soon because lacks of manpower and less interest into porting things to FreeBSD. That's why DRM, bluetooth, wireless, ACPI and wayland terribly lag behind Linux. Unfortunately this won't change anytime soon because there are much more people involved in Linux on the desktop (and has large manpower because of android as well) rather than FreeBSD. To me FreeBSD stays a server OS (even though rolling-releases ports are not appropriate). -- David
