KDE Plasma 6.4 Now Available on OpenBSD

KDE Plasma 6.4 has officially arrived as a package in OpenBSD. This release marks an important milestone for OpenBSD users, as the KDE Plasma desktop environment is now easily installable. Notably, KDE’s Kwin team has split Kwin into two versions: one for X11 (kwin-x11) and another for Wayland (kwin). This change highlights a growing focus on Wayland support, even as OpenBSD currently only supports X11. To ensure compatibility, kwin-x11 has been added as a runtime dependency for Kwin. The update also brings Aurorae, a theme engine that provides window decorations for KWin. This update is significant for KDE enthusiasts using OpenBSD, as it improves the desktop experience and provides users with a more modern interface and functionality. The arrival of KDE Plasma 6.4 further solidifies OpenBSD’s commitment to supporting popular open-source software projects, offering a broader range of tools for users looking for secure and customizable desktop environments.
