I don't see how changing operating systems gains you much of anything at
all.  A windowmanager on BSD is likely to be no different than the same
windowmanager on a Linux distro, with the exception of defaults and a
few installation choices (I used to find kubuntu to work poorly, while
opensuse did a better job of packaging and pre-configuring KDE).
