FreeBSD has supported Plasma for a long time, but on OpenBSD, it's been a long time coming. I believe a KDE desktop hasn't been available on OpenBSD since Plasma 4, perhaps even KDE 3.
Plasma is Finally on OpenBSD

Just in time for Plasma 6 :D
But what's a little more porting at this point?

OK, so this isn't something official, but done by a lone developer?

As far as I can tell, this was done by a lone official OpenBSD developer.

How insanely inefficient is OpenBSD that Plasma needs strong hardware there? https://nitter.net/sizeofvoid/status/1739774784848671105

Yeah but that's not the claim the OpenBSD developer made. The question was which notebook he would recommend now, not 10 years ago, and the reply was a strong one.
No, not by today's standards. It runs fine on potato hardware.

Average hardware of which era? Plamsa runs smoothly on a Steam Deck which is artificially power-contrained to preserve battery. Plasma Mobile is for phones.

It's almost 2024. Plasma runs fine on potatoe hardware by 2023/2024 standards. If Plasma on OpenBSD needs strong notebook hardware, it's OpenBSD's fault for being inefficient.
