Cool as i have been thinking about using mate or cinnamon for myself (although KDE has charms as well) but it depends as i do not think cinnamon is in freebsd
I think it might be, I am getting some results on google for it.
I am not a big fan of KDE5 because it's just horrible on resources and even on my best computers I find issues on how much it needs. Cinnamon just works best with resource management and looks. Next being XFCE4, which is just great for old computers and laptops.

Well at the very least I heard it was bad on Unix generally speaking. Only interest in KDE is the fact of its mobile apps which I hear are pretty neat.

This is a bit old(as it still lists KDE4), but apparently there is Cinnamon for FreeBSD(and most of Linux DEs).
Btw why are you using *BSD? I'm curious. :P

I may actually switch over to BSD myself, I haven't used it in years, but I loved it when I did use it.

Because i dont like windows, I like the freebsd OS from a technical standpoint, I like the license, I love the security , and no GPL/RMS nuts

Yeah plus the 64 bit linux binary support is intriguing to me.

Opensuse.
I used to use OpenSUSE as my main for years, but stopped for Chakra OS. But KDE5 just sucks and I'd rather use something different until KDE5 stops being a resource hug.
Rats i was wrong. Welp looks like i am buying dinner.
(i have alot to learn about Unix so no surprise).

LPT: Check if there is a distro icon near the "Start Menu", that's how I guessed that it was OpenSUSE. :P
I always keep the icon on the Menu, it's a bit of a hint to my OS and ecstatic

I jumped back to Linux Mint. A few simple reasons. I don't like the new security set up for openSUSE, it greatly reminds me of Windows security, where instead of trusting the user, it holds their hand. Now this won't be so bad, but they don't even trust links for their own site. It also broke files installations because of this security. Installing Google Chrome was not as easy as installing a rpm file, had to install it basically from source.
Oh yeah and setting default apps is straight up broken.
It's also a bit heavier on resources, regardless of the desktop I used.
It reminds me why I stopped using Opensuse before and that's because it's more Windows than Linux.
So here's my Mint desktop
