Today’s news comes a little over two months after Adriaan de Groot’s last report on the branded KDE wallpaper for FreeBSD, which looks to be based on the well-known Flying Konqui wallpaper, and shows us KDE Plasma 5 running on FreeBSD in a VirtualBox virtual machine. According to Adriaan de Groot, it looks like the KDE Frameworks 5 open-source and freely distributed collection of add-on libraries for Qt 5 is now successfully ported to the FreeBSD operating system, but without the next-gen Wayland display server, which appears to require a Wayland port to build against.
