If you are not finding FreeBSD suitable based on what you have said, 
then FreeBSD is NOT for you.

The developers are not here to design an OS that is to en compus the 
users that want everything done for you. You have to have a certain 
level of knowledge to do FreeBSD, and to do it well.

If you want easy (numbingly boring) then both Windows and Linux (some 
distros - not all) are for you.

Don't expect things to change just because they "seem" to inconvenience 
YOU. Either YOU adapt, or YOU move on.

Just like if you hear a song on the radio - if you don't like, you 
change the station.

Pretty simple. Now - as to the differences - go a Google search on 
FreeBSD vs Linux.
