I tried FreeBSD and I loved it but it just has that "it needs adobe suite otherwise I wont switch from Windows" vibe I get coming from Linux.

I WANT TO LOVE FREEBSD, but until Nvidia adds cuda libs and the devs finally figure out drawing tablet support I'm sticking with Mint. Donated $10 in hopes I can come back in 5 years to a perfect OS.
