On that list, I can live without Bluetooth.

Do you know if:

1) Zoom works? Linux has a blob which does.

2) OBS works? This is critical.

3) How is video support with ATI/Nvidia? Will my multimonitor setup break?

The other thing which scares me is the manual upgrade process. On my systems, I've done apt-get update/dist-upgrade for a quarter century now, with never an issue.

1) There isn’t a standalone binary, but you might be able to get the web client working in Chromium. I’m not sure.

2) I don’t know.

3) AFAIK it should work.

Using the BSDs as a workstation, rather than a server, is a bit niche. Like Linux, but even more so. So unfortunately it’s still a labor of love and a lot of modern stuff won’t be supported.
