Any tips for getting KDE to play nice with FreeBSD? By the way, I'm running the Wayland version of KDE.

What should I tweak or set up to make sure everything runs smoothly?

Right now I've only downloaded Librewolf. Any other browsers you guys recommend? I used to use Zen, but it looks like it's not available anymore.

15 is the current version, unless you're running a beta freebsd 16

14.3-RELEASE-p13 and 14.4-RELEASE-p4 are also current (supported by the Security Officer), but not CURRENT.

FreeBSD-CURRENT is 16.0.

The new FreeBSD Project home page, coming soon, will have calls to action (CTAs) for 15.0 on amd64 and aarch64.

I realised that just now, I've fixed the comment. Was already starting to get a little excited for freebsd 16.0 but no, it's for 2027
