Jason Tubnor 🇦🇺@emaste Yeah we have been having a discussion about this recently, was wondering if when someone was going to pipe up. Hope you can find out what is going on before the make KDE completely Linux only.

FreeBSD users will still be able to boot into Plasma with any other login manager that works on FreeBSD, including SDDM, which is upstream from Plasma anyway.

Plasma has no hard systemd dependencies.

Someone just made up KDE would somehow block (?) other DMs based on nothing (which, by the way, sounds like more work than just leaving things as they are), and you believed them.
Graham Perrin@kde thank you, again.
