Everybody that I watch in youtube for instruction it hasn't work even
loading the BSD on is own hasn't work.So which BSD for a user desktop??!
Thank you
PC-BSD is a good place to start; it makes installation easy.
I prefer running Windows in a VM under VirtualBox to dual-booting. Switching
between the two is much faster, and you can make the host file system visible
to the guest with Samba.
The only drawback of this is performance. Or you have a very powerful
machine :-)
The VM guests run pretty quick, at least if the host CPU has VT-x or
AMD-V. Check the BIOS, Intel VT-x is sometimes disabled there. I have
not benchmarked but would estimate it to be 80-90% equivalent CPU speed,
maybe a bit less for disk I/O depending on the virtual disk type.
Windows in a VM also has the benefit of being able to move the VM to a
different host without having to reinstall the operating system in the
VM. But overall, the best feature is that the VM host and guest run at
the same time.
