I tried using FreeBSD to run a desktop on. Both ports and packages were a PITA in various ways. I eventually found myself running everything as the Linux binaries under emulation.
Then I tried Ubuntu 5.04, with Debian's apt packaging, and I was like HOLY SHIT GUYS, THIS IS HOW TO DO THIS.
So Linux still annoys me to administer, but I can basically get my stuff done.
