I've been experimenting with FreeBSD on and off for several years but I've always found my way back to Linux because something didn't work for me - Usually Flash or my wireless card (wpi) - Quite possibly because I didn't read the manual properly, but it was a hassle.
This week I have been trying again with 8-Stable, and everything I have wanted to do has worked well. I am particularly impressed with Linux compatibility. Flash in native Firefox works well but it has been flawless when using linux-firefox.
Overall, I'd say my laptop feels more responsive using FreeBSD than it did under Arch Linux with a similar configuration (KDE4 + desktop effects + more browser windows than I really need).
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible. I will look for some way to contribute in the future.
