Yeah I like playing around with the unity game engine, and I doubt that will run well in FreeBSD. It sometimes doesn't even run well in Linux. But I'm considering dual booting FreeBSD and Windows (currently have Arch/Windows but never use Windows) and just using Unity in windows, especially now that MS added a Linux compatibility layer, limited as it is. Is that desperation in the air? Yes there is cygwin but it's kind of a burden to use. I think I'll play around with this over thanksgiving break because I need to reinstall windows anyway.
I liked Arch because the hardware support was the best I found and software was always bleeding edge, BUT I absolutely hated pacman/yaourt. Any time I wanted to do anything out of the ordinary I had to look up how to do it. It's just not intuitive at all. I much preferred ubuntu's apt system which pkg is very similar to, so I'm liking freebsd much better there.
