Thanks everyone for all the feedback, testing, and suggestions! I'm currently fixing things up and getting a version ready for bsdinstall.

Call for testing for a script that installs #KDE #PLASMA on a #FreeBSD desktop or laptop. Testing is aimed at users who already know FreeBSD, for example who can configure /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf.
Iโ€™m especially interested in feedback from people with NVIDIA GPUs, since I donโ€™t have this hardware myself.

I just found an old project in my repositories: a script to install a graphical environment using some checklist on FreeBSD. Unfortunately the project remained incomplete.

...Work in progress ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป to complete the utility, it will be available in a new project/repository!
