Taking the #Fedora 44 Prerelease for a spin on the ThinkPad (Ryzen 7840U / Radeon 780M) and the KDE Plasma Edition is looking absolutely phenomenal!
A few shiny upgrades making me very happy right now:
Plasma Login Manager (PLM) replacing SDDM. 1.25x fractional scaling is finally flawless right from the login screen!
DNF5 + PackageKit integration making Discover incredibly snappy.
Native NTSYNC kernel module loaded and ready for even better performance in Proton gaming.
What could cause one keyboard to work fine with #SteamOS ( #SteamDeck ) / #KDEPlasma / #WezTerm and another to not send Ctrl+Shift+* shortcuts?
To clarify, an example: Both LibreWolf and WezTerm are AppImages. One Bluetooth keyboard sends Ctrl+Shift+T to LibreWolf and Ctrl+Shift+M (my custom shortcut) to WezTerm without issue. However, another Bluetooth keyboard sends Ctrl+Shift+T to LibreWolf, but not Ctrl+Shift+M to WezTerm.
I’m baffled.
More monkeying around with OpenBSD. I spent a bunch of time getting LXQt working but the themeing was taking too much time so I threw more ram at the VM and installed KDE. The goal was to learn about OpenBSD, not LXQT. Ha.
Lots of the standard apps are there in OpenBSD but I need to find out how to get Librewolf and Waterfox going. Having done zero research, I'm assuming I need to compile from source.
I saw an article out using "Molly" as an alternate Signal Messenger client (xn--gckvb8fzb.com/if-you-must-use-signal-use-molly/). May try it in the future.
The KDE Plasma version is 6.4.5. IIRC KDE is stopping X11 support so I will need to figure out something else I guess. I've seen threads about Wayland on OpenBSD but didn't go down the rabbit hole yet. What little I read implied not ready for prime time.
The VM feels pretty snappy even though the QEMU agent doesn't really help with video options. This is using the VGA driver setup to get a decent resolution.
I really need to get this Jeep back on the road. I miss it.

Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session 🎉
Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.
For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If there’s interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.
Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support 🙌

📝 How to change DNS servers on KDE Plasma without (too much of) the terminal
Today I had trouble finding straight-forward instructions on making basic DNS changes in Plasma, so I wrote down some basic instructions of my own.
