Same recommendation for desktop too.
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'.)
