I have used FreeBSD for sometime now and i find it great lest its ACPI support
My Question is for a recent laptop

Are there any other GUIs that is great with these specs
I have been using GNOME lite
I hate KDE because of the K
What will i lose if i switch to Blackbox or other GUIS from GNOME instead in terms of functionality? What will i gain? Is it worth it?
