Taste in English has many meanings. One is your personal preference. Each person likes things a certain way. It could apply to fashion, home decorating or anything that you do.
In computing some people like it simple. Others like it complicated. Some like it plain. Others like it pretty. That is what is meant by taste. By workflow it means how you like to work. Some people like to work on one screen, one desktop, full screen. Others may like two screens, one with the GUI and another with the terminal. A programmer may like it this way. Some with a large monitor may like lots of windows and virtual desktops open at once.
A person who keeps it simple may be okay with a minimal installation and LXDE or XFCE as their desktop environment. I like the most of everything. I have multiple monitors, multiple desktop environments installed, and use many virtual desktops and have lots open at once. I prefer KDE because it is the best for me to manage this type of environment. GNOME and its full screens drive me crazy (expression).
The distribution also comes into play because I use lots of applications not found in other distributions. All distros offer the basics, but only Ubuntu based systems offer everything and the ability to install extra applications from the internet and PPAs. In Fedora I have to make compromises and I don't like to compromise.
If you are having language difficulties then I suggest that you paste the content into Google Translate.

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.

Taste?

Is FreeBSD a rolling distro?
Is FreeBSD Debian based?
Thank You very much.
