Over the weekend I tried to install FreeBSD on my everyday Linux machine. OK, I should probably have gone with 13.x but chose instead to go with 14.0.

I ran into the case where I need an intel graphics driver to run X, but when I load that driver the whole machine just hangs. Seemingly, there's no solution out of that 'either/or' at all.

Just to prove I am a masochist, I will try to install FreeBSD 14.0 on my laptop which is about 12 months older than my desktop.
