Can somebody comment on how good/bad is the driver support in the BSD land? I'm interested specifically in wireless and graphics.

I tried using FreeBSD 11 and XFCE as my development platform.

Good: XFCE worked OOB with Intel graphics outputting displayport to a 2560 x 1080 display.

Bad: Video playback in VLC and FireFox was choppy.

Not sure if the AMD FirePro or AMD Quadro have better support than Intel graphics. I ended up switching back to Debian.
