KDE Plasma 6.4 has landed in OpenBSD
This was made possible by the efforts of Rafael Sadowski (
rsadowski@) with the help of several others.
The news was announced 2025-07-04 via a
fediverse post
and of course the
commit message
itself, where the description reads
Log message:
Update Plasma 6.4
The most parts are straightforward as usual but in 6.4 the KDE
Kwin team split kwin into kwin-x11 and kwin (wayland). This seems
to be the sign that X11 is no longer of interest and we are
focussing on Wayland.

Tired of having just 256 colours on your console instead of 4096?
Do you miss the blink attribute from the old VGA text mode days?
Want to learn how cool stuff like this is implemented?
Look no further:
