Well, not so unimportant. It is BSD and that is a really bad omen. I had
immense networking problems with FreeNAS daily crashes, abysmal
performance. FreeNAS is also BSD. Then Ubuntu rolled out ZFS support. I
migrated my NAS to Ubuntu and since then had no problems whatsoever.
Network access is many times faster and the system runs months without
reboot.

Last time I looked GTK required bootstrapping. It was a very complicated
process because GTK had recursive dependencies in the packages. I
remember pkg-config was ultimately dependent on itself, or something
like that. Though having there a somehow working installation should
massively ease the process.
