I am planning on switching to FreeBSD but I am not sure about hardware since my I run into a lot of problems with the PC-BSD installation. I am asking now before it is not too late after I erase my current OS (which is Arch Linux)

On the laptop compatibility list it said
"APM: Partially working"
I don't use a battery on my laptop,i use a power cord and don't use any power saving features so will I be alright?
My laptop model is Asus K50IN.
It also says that wifi won't work
and that there will be problems with my graphics card so I will need to use nouveau drivers.
