Plasma is Finally on OpenBSD
FreeBSD has supported Plasma for a long time, but on OpenBSD, it's been a long time coming. I believe a KDE desktop hasn't been available on OpenBSD since Plasma 4, perhaps even KDE 3.

Amazing! 🐡
Just in time for Plasma 6 :D
But what's a little more porting at this point?
OK, so this isn't something official, but done by a lone developer?
As far as I can tell, this was done by a lone official OpenBSD developer.
Pretty impressive 🙂🙂🙂
Yeah! If you can support them they recently made this page! https://rsadowski.de/sponsor/
How insanely inefficient is OpenBSD that Plasma needs strong hardware there? https://nitter.net/sizeofvoid/status/1739774784848671105
Yeah but that's not the claim the OpenBSD developer made. The question was which notebook he would recommend now, not 10 years ago, and the reply was a strong one.
No, not by today's standards. It runs fine on potato hardware.
Average hardware of which era? Plamsa runs smoothly on a Steam Deck which is artificially power-contrained to preserve battery. Plasma Mobile is for phones.
It's almost 2024. Plasma runs fine on potatoe hardware by 2023/2024 standards. If Plasma on OpenBSD needs strong notebook hardware, it's OpenBSD's fault for being inefficient.
