You should try it again as a desktop. Seriously, man, FreeBSD is really catching up! I can see what you mean with the exceptions, though. The BSDs, being less recognized, don't usually have any support for proprietary software, such as Skype and Steam. It's so sad that I have to depend on the terrible piece of software that is Skype to communicate to my friends online. Come on, you can get something as sensitive as someone's IP address from just their Skype username! I try to get them to ditch it and get something like Tox, but they won't budge. NetBSD seems to be ahead of FreeBSD in the emulation department, and I'm pretty sure they have 64-bit Linux emulation. You should try testing if Steam works on it on a VirtualBox or something whenever you get the chance.
