I'm thinking of replacing an old laptop's Windows 10 system with a #BSD system instead of #Linux.

Most of the articles I see on the BSDs tend to downplay user interface. I'm very comfortable with the command line, but I want my GUI too.

Has anyone had any daily experience with this sort of setup? I am leaning towards #FreeBSD or #DragonflyBSD but I don't know about the available desktops.

LUKS doesn't supported. For disk encryption there is a GELI in the FreeBSD: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks/#disks-encrypting-geli
