Hi guys, I'm relatively new to FreeBSD. I installed it on a headless server and played around with it a good bit. Now I'm getting a cheap refurbished laptop and want to try to install FreeBSD 15.0 on it and will want a desktop environment.
Throughout my career, I've almost never used *nix DEs other than occasionally using GNOME on Ubuntu by necessity on computers that I had access to, usually just to get to a terminal emulator anyway.
After some initial research, I would prefer to use Wayland over X if it is possible to meet my other preferences:
- Productivity over glossiness
- Future-facing over stable-but-dying
- Relatively easy to set up for someone who is not a sysadmin (but then again someone who is going out of his way to put FreeBSD on a laptop...)
I assume with X it's much easier.
