What's a good FreeBSD (or deravative) for a desktop?

Welcome to FreeBSD Forums, I gather that not many souls have good workarounds and fixes for MacBooks. But, you could use the "spyglass" search engine to look for keywords on this Forum.
"Mac" and "MacBook" are good places to start collecting information for your answer.

It took me about a years worth of reading the "Handbook" and trying things out on my machines, when I first got started here at FreeBSD. You have to be patient and be ready to fix things if necessary. You have to be in charge and not let yourself get lazy with this.
 
Thrashed the original thread, sorry about that. Moved your question back with some minor edits. This post should bump it back on top.
 
F0llowschrist welcome to FreeBSD Forums.

What model is the MacBook? <https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html> can help to identify it.

Of the distros that are listed, GhostBSD is often considered to be the most user-friendly.


I use KDE Plasma. If you install FreeBSD alone, then the desktop environment is easily added: <https://community.kde.org/FreeBSD/Setup#Quick_start>
