You miss my point, Harakim.

I've never sat down to a cup of coffee and a nice afternoon playing with any OS either.

My point is that there are more choices for beginners than just windows, macos, and some of the linux distros. While the BSDs are mostly used by professionals (who transition to them after using other OSs or for particular reasons), the perception that they are completely unsuited for beginners is wrong. And for beginners who want to grow their skills and knowledge they are certainly better than a few others.
