GNOME is more and more tied up with systemd, which is Linux only. In the open source community, there used to be pride in making things cross platform (at least all Unix machines, Windows is just a very weird OS), but I think it is very tempting to be Linux only these days. Systemd is one place where Linux distributions are way different. Have Wayland been ported yet? And namespaces, being the basis of containers, are also something, which makes it hard to port stuff to *BSD once used., Yes, you read that right: KDE 6.4.0 Plasma is now in OpenBSD packages. This was made possible by the efforts of Rafael Sadowski (rsadowski@) with the help of several others. The news was announced 2025-07-04 via a fediverse post and of course the commit message itself, where the description reads Log message: Update Plasma 6.4 The most parts are straightforward as usual but in 6.4 the KDE Kwin , KDE6 landed in OpenBSD -current We are currently in an excellent phase ahead of the upcoming OpenBSD release 7.6, which gives us plenty time to thoroughly test KDE Plasma 6. My goal is to make sure it works well and is stable for everyone. From my personal experience, the KDE compositor seems to be working very stably, but you can see for yourself..
