OK so I know how to install FreeBSD, I can ping 8.8.8.8, run gpart, access other media, install pkgs, build from ports, and get a web server up and running. That's all very well for a server, but what should I do to enhance my desktop experience?
What changes are recommended to /etc/rc.conf or /boot/loader.conf or other files I should look at? If I look at a system installed a few years ago I have no idea what some of the entries do...(yes, I know, they should have been commented).
I've installed various WMs but in a random, suck it and see manner, rather than in a structured way. I installed TrueOS recently and that provides a nice desktop environment without me needing to know which video driver is necessary. When I install x.org sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but even when I get Xfce working, it doesn't seem to work as well as it does on Debian.
If anyone knows of a step by step approach for setting up FreeBSD in a desktop envirnment, please share.
