Considering BSD
Hello! I am new to these forums, so please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong section.
I am considering BSD as a Desktop operating system. I am a Linux user; but I would not consider myself technical at all. Would BSD be a good choice as a Desktop OS? What would some common issues be? What are the pros and cons of BSD over Linux? What are the similarities? Also, which BSD distribution would be best to use? I hear lots of good things about FreeBSD.
Thanks

CR_SEEOTHERGIDS(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual CR_SEEOTHERGIDS(9) NAME
cr_seeothergids -- determine visibility of objects given their group memberships SYNOPSIS
int cr_seeothergids(struct ucred *u1, struct ucred *u2); DESCRIPTION
This function determines the visibility of objects in the kernel based on the group IDs in the credentials u1 and u2 associated with them. The visibility of objects is influenced by the sysctl(8) variable security.bsd.see_other_gids. If this variable is non-zero then all objects in the kernel are visible to each other irrespective of their group membership. If this variable is zero then the object with credentials u2 is visible to the object with credentials u1 if either u1 is the super-user credential, or if at least one of u1's group IDs is present in u2's group set. SYSCTL VARIABLES
security.bsd.see_other_gids Must be non-zero if objects with unprivileged credentials are to be able to see each other. RETURN VALUES
This function returns zero if the object with credential u1 can ``see'' the object with credential u2, or ESRCH otherwise. SEE ALSO
