I'm not sure any OS is going to be the answer long term. If you do
enough computer use you'll have to follow instructions at some point.

Imagine that. And yet you can find numerous posts in questions from
people who struggle with it. Must be stupid people then, huh?
Paul, this is a good example of the kind of vitriol that isn't really
helpful. Please tone it down.
To address the content of your concern, I've been using flash on FreeBSD
for a long time. It's gone through phases where it's been easier,
harder, more and less successful. At the moment it's working pretty
well, but I agree with you that it's not an ideal situation.
However regarding the documentation, the URL that was posted has been
stable for a long time ("years," can't tell you exactly how many).
However, like a lot of other topics there is stale documentation outside
of FreeBSD, and other generally bad advice that gets passed around from
user to user. That's a difficult problem for us to address directly.
Comparing Ubuntu and FreeBSD is a false choice
Yes, that's sort of my point. :) Ubuntu is literally in a class by
itself in terms of both the OOB and long-term use experiences. So if all
you want is a Unix'y desktop OS (and you can't afford/don't want a mac),
use it, and be happy. If you have other goals (such as learning Unix
internals generally, or a specific OS) then you have other areas you can
focus on, such as FreeBSD.
