Except that many of those "security" aspects don't really work.
They cannot compensate the severe design flaws of "Windows",
which in its heart is a single-user single-task (and nowadays
single-window) system.
FreeBSD is different. Because it is derived from UNIX, it has
a long track of good security through established concepts
and modern implementations.

Linux distribution are about choice. Because there is no way to
make a system that pleases everyone, and also because it's hard
to make a certain compilation of software run everywhere, several
different Linusi have emerged. They are different in shells, in
packaging system, in preconfigured and preinstalled applications
and in documentation.
FreeBSD on the other hand is a multi-purpose system. The same OS
can be used on a laptop, on a desktop workstation, on a server,
on a "combined system" (e. g. workstation having server functionalities),
even on embedded. The OS itself is maintained by _one_ body, and
clearly separated from 3rd party applications.

Ubuntu seems to be one of the most prominent Linux distribtions
and therefore is very active in gaining mind share and usage share.

It's FreeBSD in its heart, so yes: All the underlying structures
are there, ready to use.

It seems that FreeBSD uses the system's resources more efficiently,
whereas common bloatware requires fans to keep running all the
time, and disks heavily accessing stuff.

And how many of the 50,000 "Windows" applications can you get the
source code for? Can all of them be updated with one command,
without constant hand-holding?
Software ported to FreeBSD usually is of high quality in general.
It's not just the programs, it's also very often the good
documentation.

Troubleshooting is often difficult on Linux. There are situations
where you cannot simply test "a simple change", and getting
information can also be hard because nobody seems to really care.

PBI is specific to PC-BSD, it's not part of the regular FreeBSD
packaging system.

It seems that more modern ATI cards don't have the best support,
as I've heared. In comparison, my old ATI Radeon 9200 (AGP card)
has been recognized by the stock (!) "ati" driver being part of
the (obsoleted) XFree86 system, and it had enough 3D power to
allow me to play games.

I'd like to think that LibreOffice has become the common
replacement for OpenOffice in free software distributions.
Also note: What Oracle touches, that turns into crap. :-(
I wish you fun experiencing FreeBSD. You'll probably learn a
lot which will position you on top of the food chain, compared
to common "Minesweeper Consultant Solitaire Experts". :-)
PS. Am I right to assume that your text has been automatically
translated? There seem to be "some words" missing. :-)
