Sorry I have no need or use for any of the listed packages/items. Nvidia works extremely well. I don't have AMD. I won't be using Wayland any time soon even if I could. GNOME is or is becoming systemd hostage so I won't install it ever on any system. Dropbox is not welcome for me. Chromium works well. I think GPU acceleration works well.
It all depends on what you use but definitely works well for my needs.
A serious question, since such recommendations are regularly thrown around in these threads.
Can you run FreeBSD with a recent AMD GPU (I know that there is the proprietary NVIDIA driver)? Does Wayland work? What about HiDPI screens with GNOME? Is there support for Dropbox now? Is Chrome supported? Does it use GPU acceleration for movie playback?
(As far as I could gather the answer to most of these questions is still 'no'.)
