My background in the *nix

[freebird882]

However recently I've been using Linux but got sick of the vitriolic fanboyism. So as of right now, I'm installing midnight BSD because of the sole fact that it comes out of the box with a GUI after you answer yes to the question first boot question Do you want to install a window manager, which I replied yes so as it pulls down all of the files needed to install a GUI.

What's your question?

Indeed. I fail to read any question or issue. But, keep in mind that MidnightBSD isn't supported here.

GhostBSD, pfSense, TrueNAS, and all other FreeBSD Derivatives

That seems kind of bad. What happens if you wanted to use a more "modern" GUI?

Once you get more familiar with *nix, you will probably prefer the choice offered by upstream FreeBSD.
