What is the meaning of "taste"?

Is there
openbox
lxde
xfce
gnome
kde

or more?

Sorry for stupid question.

What does mean pretty much?

Sometimes it sounds like party

democratic or republican.

First impression:
You can install any Linux and then
build like stones any software house the user likes
and
example

I download an Fedora programe compile it for Debian and use it with Debian.

Is this right?

I use FreeBSD at work, and my workflow is mostly terminals

I do something like this:
Terminals open and start gedit firefox and so on.

Is FreeBSD a rolling distro?
Is FreeBSD Debian based?

Thank You very much.
