Debian stable user.

I  always test options. I have vm's of PCBSD 10.1..it is very usable 
desktop, pre-configured. FreeBSD 10.1, takes time to configure it all, 
both have most of the apps I use in GNU/Linux.

It seems these two  BSD's have Gnome2 available..not going to Gnome3, 
the latest KDE4 is included though. Other WM's are available...I use 
Windowmaker when I first load something new.


Open Indiana, Illumos kernel/userland, is a continuation of Open 
Solaris, not as well supported as a desktop...lots of features though. 
Has KDE3.5 available

My main app is kdepim. Other office apps are more DE agnostic. 

I will probably run Debian (Wheezy LTS) and TDE for a few more years. In 
my tests of Jessie and TDE  I did not even notice what init system was 
installed, all working fine though.
