PC-BSD uses KDE4, which is a fantastic desktop. If all your hardware works fine
with the BSD kernel, then it's ready to go. A lot of applications are run over
the Web now anyway (so prepackaging won't matter much).
The GNU/Linux/KDE/GNOME desktop evolves in conjunction with Solaris and BSD. It's
convenient to just think of it as the Free Desktop. The proprietary ones sometimes lag
behind, technically.
