Yes I use PC-BSD on one of my secondary desktops. It's nice. 
The only problems that I had, occurred when I was a little too careless with ports and installed some graphics drivers.
They provide nice GUI's for Jails and all their programs so you rarely need to use the Commandline.
I haven't tested Lumina though, only used KDE.

So as long as you are careful with ports It's worth a shot.
But you will run into the same Problems as in OI when you require Closed-Source Program's. Some are just not there yet.
