I am at the process of migrating 2 machines from Windows to Lubuntu and PC-BSD. Lubuntu is done, but it was much easier because my requirements for the machine were very low, the main workstation will be PC-BSD.
I started as a 95% *nix newbie and I think both OSes were equally hard. Lubuntu is more mature, GUI configuration is much more advanced. OTOH BSD is by far the best documented project that I met, there's no comparison with Linux. Community support - great in both cases, although on Linux the answers come faster.
Equivalent programs and emulation? I haven't found a single Linux program that I'd like to use that wouldn't be available on FreeBSD, at least yet. As far as I can tell, wine works the same (that is: quite badly). So I haven't noticed any difference.
Drivers? Lol. They don't matter as long as your hardware is well supported. If it's not, it's not worth the pain (for a newbie at least). In fact that's the only reason I use Lubuntu.
