I agree with pppp - it's quite easy in the most common case. I've run into little problems, but rarely, and certainly no more than what I used to have with Linux. Hardware support is like Linux a few years ago. That, and a few (esoteric or proprietary) packages that I've found missing are about the only downsides IMO. FreeBSD has run fine with little to no configuration on all the desktops and servers I've tried, but laptops are a different story. OpenBSD has a better reputation there. My guess (and understand this is based on just my limited perspective) is that the biggest thing to be aware of is video cards (in particular the Intel integrated graphics are one or two generations behind). Here's the offical word on drivers in general: https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.html https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.ht...
