Finally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session
Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.
For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If thereβs interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.
Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support

@alfonsosiciliano so impressed with your work on this! Let's hope it helps many more users come to FreeBSD.

@xgqt If there's interest or requests for Wayland, it can certainly be added. In fact, it's already in the pipeline because I'm currently working on accessibility, and several programmers are considering moving assistive technology development from X to Wayland (you can find several conference talks online).

@dch I created a proof of concept a few years ago during COVID, and thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation it turned into something real
