FreeBSD is great! Even as a desktop. NVIDIA builds official drivers for FreeBSD. I dont know whats the status for newer AMD graphics card. Nvidia + Intel graphics also works very well.
There is a port system where users can build the packages from sourcecode on their own machines. Its +- like gentoo.
There is also a binary pkg system. It is faster to install since the packages are already built (binary).
To upgrade from minor versions ie. 11.1 to 11.2 it is very simple and well documented. Just see in the manual freebsd-update
There is native support for ZFS also which is great.
Virtualbox works very well, so its possible to install other OSes in virtualbox. VMware i dont think is supported.
