Colleague: wtf?
Me: Don't ask, just approve the MR pls

@tde Great! Will this become my new BSD desktop? 
We are delighted to announce the release of #TDE version R14.1.6.
Read the announcement at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2026.04.26 and check out the details in the release notes at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.1.6.
The next #Trinity version (R14.1.7) is currently planned for October 25, 2026.
@nixCraft Seems like an economic perpetuum mobile, not sure if that's going to work.
@claudiom I'm bit afraid to do that tbh πŸ˜…. We're still using it and don't have a handy replacement.

Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session πŸŽ‰

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 πŸ™Œ

@alfonsosiciliano Great work!
@claudiom Yeah I did, but it stops after the first restart, bumps me back to the bootloader and nothing happens :(
@claudiom That's great, would use it on our old 2010 MacBook air. I installed the linux and just can't get the MacOS back. Tried recovery, etc. Seems the bootloader is janked
