   It's not too far off what you'd expect.  The 'pkg' system is quite similar to   
   what you'd see on Debian.  I find updating to new releases to be a lot less   
   painful than most Linux-based releaes.   
      
   If you've got an NVidia card X is a no-brainer.  Wine still runs well (I had   
   Windows Steam and various steam games running on FreeBSD just for the hell of   
   it).   
      
   But there's no systemd, and that's a mark of pride.
