KDE Plasma 6 running in a Wayland session on FreeBSD |
 |
While Wayland was pioneered on Linux and is often seen in the open source community as a Linux technology, Wayland has gradually made its way to other platforms. The KDE Plasma 6 desktop can run on FreeBSD, as one developer demonstrate: "This year, 2025, the KDE Community held its yearly conference in Berlin, Germany. On the way I reinstalled FreeBSD on my Frame.work 13 laptop in another attempt to get KDE Plasma 6 Wayland working. Short story: yes, KDE Plasma 6 Wayland on FreeBSD works. This time I followed the instructions from thesaigoneer on Codeberg. It did not feel different from any previous attempt of mine. However, it did work instead of hang, so that’s an important difference." The post then goes on to provide instructions for enabling the Plasma 6 Wayland session on FreeBSD.
