I was a FreeBSD user once, for around three months.
I've learned everything about startx command that is known to mankind.
Tried that as well, around 2011. Not exactly a pleasant experience, with regard the HW support of my laptop. I guess it wasn't FreeBSD fault anyway, to be honest.
That's weird when I tried they supported normal display managers.
Given that I've installed it around 2006 from a CD disk, they've fixed a lot of things since then.
It was the time when spending a week to just launch some graphical applications was something to boast about. Some would think people even made it harder on purpose to filter out Windows normies. Thankfully, sanity prevailed, after those same hax0r kids went to high-paying engineering jobs and had to deliver a working product on a fixed deadline. Now you insert your USB drive, press Next - Next - Next - Root password - Reboot, and have your FreeBSD installation working out of the box and ready to use in 20 minutes. Boring!
Well there's always Gentoo at least, though not a BSD Unix of course
Gentoo brings back that OG build-everything-from-source experience.
