@sizeofvoid Is it really running well on OpenBSD? Just asking because I know that all of these large Desktop environments require lots of Linux specific stuff under the hood and not everything might work smooth on the BSDs.
@NebulaTide i don't know about FreeBSD but on OpenBSD it is my daily driver.
@sizeofvoid Oh, this was a mistake. Want to write Open, but then Free came out 😆 But cool, so it’s working for you without any issues?
@NebulaTide I would say it solves more problems than it creates. I particularly appreciate power management (I don't need apmd), display configuration, system settings and once you've set up all your shortcuts, it makes you really productive.
@sizeofvoid I thought OpenBSD had some Wayland support already? The CVS commit message seems to imply that it doesn't work on OpenBSD...
@neal Yes, but I haven't managed to get startplasma-wayland up and running yet. It still needs a lot of hacks. I haven't found the time or the priority yet.
@sizeofvoid Awesome thank you so much.

@sizeofvoid This is fantastic! The last time I took this for a spin, I would hard crash when using the built-in application search. There was a workaround I believe, but is that resolved with this launch now?

Cheers!

@bt This and all other important topics are covered in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/kde-plasma. Please read it carefully and you will have a lot of fun with KDE Plasma on OpenBSD. For example "usermod -L kde your-user-name" will fix the your built-in application search crash.
