Fresh from the oven:
Currently fewer than half of users consider FreeBSD their daily driver; Individuals are less likely than Corporate Users to consider FreeBSD primary. The barrier seems to be less about software and more about hardware support, particularly around Wi-Fi drivers (which are at the top of the wish list for the Foundation to focus on in the coming year). A relatively high number of those who don't consider FreeBSD their main OS say they would consider doing so with hardware support for desktops and laptops that was equivalent to Linux.

@npro Do not yell,
UNIX was worse to maintain, i know from the 80ies and 90ies.
FreeBSD is sometimes like telling you NHSTFM (No Help Study The F.... Manuals). -

Then you need a large package Hansaplast to fix your wounds you get by boxing onto screen or smashing keyboard against the wall.
