Trying FreeBSD as a Linux user – Kenvexity – YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdUwCQttWKM&t=25sI enjoyed this video. Very down-to-earth.

I have a bit of a problem with getting SDDM to start a Plasma session under Wayland on FreeBSD 15.1.I've installed KDE Plasma using "kde-installer-dialogs" from @alfonsosiciliano (link below). After rebooting, the SDDM greeter shows up as expected, but entering my credentials just returns me to the greeter.Disabling SDDM, and manually starting a session with "% exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startplasma-wayland" works fine.Any ideas?Excerpt from /var/log/sddm.log:[17:55:08.941] (II) DAEMON: Greeter starting...[17:55:08.942] (II) DAEMON: Greeter stopping...[17:55:08.942] (WW) DAEMON: Error from greeter session: "Process crashed"[17:55:08.942] (WW) DAEMON: Auth: sddm-helper (--socket /tmp/sddm-auth-0646d0ea-c7ba-4fac-99d1-69f703416d2c --id 6 --start /usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter-qt6 --socket /tmp/sddm-:0-ikHaiz --theme /usr/local/share/sddm/themes/breeze --user sddm --greeter) crashed (exit code 1)[17:55:08.942] (WW) DAEMON: Error from greeter session: "Process crashed"[17:55:08.942] (WW) DAEMON: Auth: sddm-helper exited with 9[17:55:08.942] (II) DAEMON: Greeter stopped.

@cullum A nice guide overall! I would consider using doas instead of sudo for security and simplicity's sake.

@RootMoose Alpine and Plasma did not go great for me, sadly

After months of testing, weeks of writing, here is finally my new full Linux install guide: "Interim Install Guide: KDE Neon User Edition for a professional digital painter workstation": Everything about Drawing Tablet, Color Management and Calibration/Profiling on KDE Plasma 6 Wayland, and all to survive the packaging mess with eg. built-in tutorial to revert version of Flatpak, scripts to beta-test Krita, and more! https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1145/interim-install-guide-kde-neon-user-edition-for-a-professional-digital-painter-workstation
