I don't need or use flash on the BSDs I play youtube videos using VLC.

Sorry about that.
I don't use FreeBSD but sincerely it's a little strange all these problems.
Have you tried PC-BSD?

gor0 06-11-2014 10:56 AM

If you like Arch, then use Arch!
Many people use BSD systems without problems or obsolete software.
I don't wish a war-topic about Linux vs BSD ;)
I use NetBSD for my homeserver and Slackware for my Desktop. But I could invert them.

Agreed. :)

Wifi setup is definitely not impossible on BSD. It can be done from the command line like so:

# wpa_passphrase <ssid> <passphrase> | wpa_supplicant -i<dev> -Dwext -c/dev/fd/0 -B
# dhcpcd <dev>

is that Hebrew?

The same commands would work in a GNU/Linux system.

If you like whatever OS you are now using, just use it and give the trolling a rest.
