nah, I used FreeBSD on desktop, and I was tracking CURRENT with weekly rebuilds.
The only time things "broke" for me is when X11 on FreeBSD switched to libinput by default.
Never had issues with anything else:
- nvidia drivers always worked, unlike ubuntu that tried to install opensource-not-working-driver every time it gets
- My keyboard remapping worked every upgrade. Ubuntu broke it major release, Arch broke it from time to time. Fedora I didn't even bother.
- Most of my software was always on bleeding edge release when possible
- Docker in bhyve worked better than on linux because I could just restart VM
- Not once, my bootloader went foobar in 20 years (with GRUB I live in constant fear)
Now, if FreeBSD folks stopped with perfectionism and finally landed GPU and WiFi drivers...I'd be still using it. Now I won't switch back though, I'm far too friendly with Nix.

I played on the Linux client for a while with an NVidia GPU. But my main desktop was FreeBSD at the time, and so instead of dual-booting I used FreeBSD's Linux API/ABI emulation to play RtCW with FreeBSD NVidia drivers. I even got a few more FPS under FreeBSD. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Castle_Wolfenstein https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Castle_Wolfenstein
