My install instructions for KDE 6 Wayland on FreeBSD have been updated.

First of all I changed the base to KDE and KDE base apps, instead of just a very minimal install. This follows the recommended install by KDE more closely.

Second: the additional browser of choice (with Librewolf in the overall setup already) has been changed to Vivaldi and I have included a how-to-update the script and make Vivaldi run under FreeBSD.

Which you can apply anywhere on FreeBSD of course ;-)

Thanks to all for the positive feedback!

@doq
It certainly has ;-) Let me put it this way: KDE is late to the party ☺️
There is a very active 'group' that's bringing the latest and greatest of window managers to FreeBSD. Like niri, hyprland, river, dwl, you name it. A hidden gem!
