EditSteps

  1. 1
    Use a desktop-oriented BSD distro. Some BSDs, like PC-BSD or GhostBSD have pre-installed desktop environments and software. If you don't want to build a desktop from a terminal-based system, they're the best choices.

  2. 2
    Use Mac OS X. Mac OS X is originally forked from FreeBSD and It can be a good choice for BSD desktop experience.
  3. 3
    Use a major BSD, then Install GUI. A major BSD like FreeBSD or OpenBSD has a lot of documents and user-guides. Also, they have big repositories that included a lot of programs.
  4. 4
    Try different BSDs, then Choose best one. You can try some BSDs on VirtualBox or VMWare then choose one of them for your desktop.
