I have never used Xenocara, and haven't used OpenBSD. What are benefits or comparisons for Xenocara over Xorg? I've heard about security benefits. What about ease of configuration for file or driver access? Also, are there desktop performance benefits? Or are there improvements in dependencies...

RedHat announced two days ago they are abandoning X.org starting 2025. This is a done deal, there are no ifs. Not a single BSD distribution including FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD, not a single remaining UNIX including AIX and Solaris has released any statements in regard to that. What are you...

As far as I know, virtualization tools such as qemu, virtual box are unfortunately not compatible with Wayland compositor. I don't want to use X11.

I am trying to get KDE plasma running on wayland. As far as I have understood, it's not possible to launch into KDE wayland from sddm, but should be possible by executing startplasma-wayland.sh or ck-launch-session dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland as a non-root user. Doing so (however fails...

With a nice Wayfire Tutorial here in the forum, I was wondering if anyone has gathered any similar experience with Hyprland on FreeBSD already? x11-wm/hyprland and supplementary ports have been added at the end of last year and are kept up-to-date, but I could not really find any info /...
