My FreeBSD KDE Wayland page (#freebsd

KDE Plasma: ZFS mount points as devices in the sidebar of Dolphin on FreeBSD-RELEASE:
— is this a new thing, has anyone else seen it?
I'm accustomed to seeing rpool and bpool misrepresented as devices in Kubuntu (a known issue).
I don't recall seeing a comparable bug in FreeBSD before yesterday.
#FreeBSD

Weariness with hyprland. I hardly ever use it these days.
Of course KDE in many shapes and sizes.
Riverwm on FreeBSD is doing great. And next project lined up: port my dwm to dwl and fresh it up. On FreeBSD at first.
They have really the best Wayland stack out there, especially with window managers.
#freebsd

Por lo que leo lo de #FreeBSD con las tarjetas wifi Intel es una relación fraternal... como la de Caín con Abel. Menos mal que ha sido conectarle un pendrive ASUS, configurar dos líneas en el rc.conf y tener la wifi funcionando sin aparentes problemas en el portštil...

@… FYI <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/542> (and thanks for helping with D51279).

I'm not pleased with what is being done to most tasks here, but I do love total perfect CPU utilization...

Another notch on the guitar. If you'd ever wanted to run the River window manager I've got you covered.
River’s window management style on Wayland is quite similar to dwm, xmonad, and other classic dynamic tiling X11 window managers. Windows are automatically arranged in a tiled layout and shifted around as windows are opened/closed.
Dots and setup are available on codeberg.org/thesaigoneer!

@… I sincerely hope that the future freebsd-update will not drop users into vi when merges can not be automated.
#FreeBSD #pkg

I wrote up how I installed KDE Plasma 6.4.4, running Wayland, on FreeBSD:
https://codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/pages/src/branch/main/FreeBSD and Plasma 6 install

FUCK IT
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME
#FreeBSD #vi

It is good to spent an ungodly amount of time on tweaking your waybar and still not be totally satisfied with it.

KDE Plasma and applications on FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT

GeekTalk:
Spending your working day in FreeBSD KDE 6, whilst simultaneously installing the KDE minimal package set on AerynOS.
More detailed reporting in the coming days, but let me assure you FreeBSD also has the latest KDE Gear and Plasma 6.4.4.1., hot on the heels of the fastest KDE spin out there, Slackware. Impressive!
#FreeBSD

@… I would like to see something similar for FreeBSD (or BSDs in general) …
@…
#FreeBSD

Another system fixed.
#FreeBSD

Nope. A good night's sleep brought clarity. No new immutable Obelix Saigon.
Stick to the mantra of less to none GitHub.
Slackware, FreeBSD, Codeberg and the occasional Gentoo offer more than enough to serve this geezer.
#slackware #freebsd

After the great feedback on my KDE Wayland setup on FreeBSD I'm now going through the paces for Hyprland on FreeBSD. Already have 95% done and dusted; expect to wrap up by tomorrow.
A satisfying setup, and I finally got rid of those crazy big gaps between everything. Took me four years to find the solution 🤣 You'll still be able to keep them of course 😜
#freebsd

For shits and giggles I decided to ssh upgrade my FreeBSD 15 to KDE 6.4.5, by using the latest ports. Let me say the process (git pulling the latest ports, portmastering et al) does certainly work. Five and a half hours later I'm happy to be not on the premises to hear my 2018 NUC take off. Rust, llvm, you get it.
Shits and giggles indeed 🤣

Using pkgbasify to repair a broken installation of FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE
#FreeBSD

FYI:
Dwm 6.6. KDE Plasma 6.4.5. Niri 25.08.
Who asked whether FreeBSD had up to date software?
🥳

Would #FreeBSD be better for seeding massive amounts of data over BitTorrent than #Linux because it's better at disk I/O?

This, THIS is why you should NEVER trust me to touch your computer:
#FreeBSD #login #fail

Just tested my FreeBSD KDE Wayland setup on 15-PRERELEASE and it works as well.
The part in my write up about switching to the Latest branch doesn't apply obviously. We're there already 🥳
#freebsd #kde

Because you need to start somewhere, I'll be putting KDE 6.4.4 with FreeBSD on my laptop today. That latest Plasma arrived in Ports yesterday already. As I mentioned before FreeBSD can be very quick with cutting edge updates (basically anything Wayland as well, i.e. Niri et al). By using the latest KDE, which I'm very familiar with, it gives me all the time to learn about FreeBSD. Looking forward to it!

@… it seems likely that 15.0 will not include the installer enhancement for KDE Plasma and applications.
Instead, the packages can be installed in the traditional way, at the command prompt when exiting the installer.
#FreeBSD…

Obviously there's still work to be done in the Wayland session of KDE Plasma 6 on FreeBSD.
Let's see what'd be the best way to 'report' those oddities.
For instance: the volume icon shows and tells a disconnect from the sound service. Nevertheless it's working fine.
Those little niggles 🥳
#freebsd

Quite happy with my learning curves of Slackware and Gentoo; it helps with pulling in, reading and eventually making and applying updated ports with portmaster. Hyprland 0.51!
#freebsd

That is a lot of fun! The update to 6.4.4 is rolling out as we speak, but just to give a first impression.
Plasma 6.4.3, Wayland session, basics installed and up and running. Even Spectacle (was a big issue previously) works well.
Wrapping up tomorrow, I've deserved that cool 🍻 for now.
#freebsd

A number of distros are a bit behind, but FreeBSD also has Plasma 6.4.2 in the repos. Hope they get the Wayland session fixed for it, it goes to show they are very much on the front foot here. If so KDE would easily become the nr. 1 desktop in BSD land.
#freebsd #kde

FreeBSD provides the standard KDE Plasma package, which is the preferred way as recommended by KDE themselves. Nevertheless, you can still uninstall i.e. Discover and Konqueror, which are part of that base package (like I do).
Don't be put off by the inclusion of kde-base-apps in your removal overview, only the relevant parts for that application will be removed. All other apps and libraries will stay put and continue to work.

When you're reading BastilleBSD documentation at 6:22AM, with your first coffee ☕, you know you are in for an interesting day. Needless to say I'm enjoying dipping that foot into the BSD's.
