Not recommended as desktop. I have use it. Only advantage of it is ZFS file system currently the best file system on earth.

Yes as a desktop it is not recommended, but best for IT Infrastructure setup.

One of the best. Requirements must be taken into account. Just wait for two more OS which are the most secure OS on earth currently used.
