FreeBSD lacks three things before it’s a contender on the desktop/laptop:

- WiFi speeds competing with Linux/MacOS/Windows

- Bluetooth support that doesn’t suck

- suspend/resume

We can talk gaming later. I use FreeBSD as my primary OS despite these major flaws. I consider other things in my computer system more important. FreeBSD has the best package manager for both sources and pre compiled binaries.

Thanks to virtualisation, I can at least get fast WiFi. Still holding out for the other missing features.
