I might recommend [NomadBSD].

I don't know if it's actually still active as a project, but it's a persistent live USB image for #FreeBSD with an xfce DE. It's pretty nice to get your feet wet without actually "losing" your main machine. :D

I know the FreeBSD guys are working on a full [KDE installer]. I'm not sure what the status is, at the moment, but they're definitely making good progress.

New in FreeBSD Foundationals, part 4: rc.d, the service framework that fits in your head.

How /etc/rc orders your services, why rc.conf is just shell, what rc.subr gives you for free, and the daemon(8) pidfile trap that makes "service stop" quietly restart your process.

Then I audited my own production rc.d scripts. One of them reports "not running" while serving live Mastodon traffic.
