I genuinely think freebsd would be more popular with a purely bsd eye-candy desktop environment

I can only watch at it, can't order it And what if you don't like its taste?

That's why I said that you can shop around. That was a top hit returned to me by Google in less than 30 seconds.

I can't shop on the internet, I don't have a bank account. But that's not the point. The point is, if you want an eye-candy desktop environment, sooner or later Lennart will appear, and instead of Berkeley Software Distribution you will have Lennart S**tware Distribution.

I think FreeBSD just needs better desktop documentation.

FreeBSD doesn't make desktops. Neither does Linux. Linus Torvalds won't help you there.
Ubuntu makes desktop systems; as do others. That's where you'll find better desktop documentation cause that's what they do.

I think FreeBSD needs better users (not the ones who are already happily using FreeBSD). Aspire to be a better FreeBSD user! Read as much documentation as you can, and experiment all you have time for with FreeBSD.

It doesn't. But it patches them and offers to install them through pkg or ports collection. I'm not saying FreeBSD developers must make better documentation, just FreeBSD desktop needs better documentation.

How do you come up with better users? (Aside from actually stepping away from the keyboard to make 'em)

CoolHwhipMike I feel another poll coming on … It's a fine line between asking an honest question and being a bit of a troll but ill see what I can come up with.
