FreeBSD 15.0 Aims To Have A KDE Desktop Install Option
The crew working on enhancing the FreeBSD laptop support is hoping to have an install option within the installer of FreeBSD 15 that will easily provide a KDE Plasma based desktop environment.
This isn't as nice though as what was previously available with the likes of PC-BSD and TrueOS prior to the project's demise. The initial concept is a low-interaction installation process that, upon completion, brings the user directly to a KDE graphical login screen. The FreeBSD laptop project has also been making progress on updating its kernel graphics drivers from the Linux 6.7~6.8 open-source state, enhance the FreeBSD scheduler for heterogeneous CPU cores, fixing s0ix handling for AMD laptops, continuing to work on better WiFi/wireless hardware support, improving external HDMI monitor hot-plugging, and making other power management improvements.
