FreeBSD is not a "desktop first" system and has strengths elsewhere. I use it for 20+ years constantly. Sadly my experiments with FreeBSD desktop ended years ago as there always was something "not working".

Typing this on a FreeBSD laptop.

Haven't tried using netflix on it though.

I don't think it needs to be said that while FreeBSD can serve as a daily driver for some people, it is insufficient for the vast majority of computer users in the world
