Neither Linux nor (especially) FreeBSD is primarily used on desktops. That’s a nice-to-have side feature (and one I’m personally grateful for, since I run Linux on my laptop now and have used FreeBSD desktop in the past), but the fact remains that it’s not the core value proposition of those OSes. It’s no surprise that they’re not as nice on the desktop as OSes produced by corporations that pour billions into making them polished. I’m not sure why so many people expect them to be and get indignant when they’re not.
