    Honestly it isn’t. Support for anything front-end related is way more sparse compared to Linux.

        I don’t think I’ve ever heard FreeBSD described as either “new” or “exotic”

            I’ll give you “new” but it’s about as far from exotic as you can get… Not a bad thing, BTW, and I highly recommend giving it a try, it’s an excellent system, though probably better for a server than a workstation/desktop (though it definitely can be a very good workstation/desktop if you like)

            Its Ports system is the inspiration for Gentoo’s Portage, BTW

            “hello system” is pretty nice to look at, and has some Mac-isms I find helpful. FreeBSD has a new release recently, so maybe Nomad or GhostBSD could be worth trying. You’ll find FreeBSD is a lot more “consistent” compared to Linux, but be prepared for random hardware to not work.
