This is only the Plasma Login Manager which was forked from SDDM.
Plasma/KDE improved support for OpenBSD in the last release:

I don't use powerd as it's not used on Intel chips. Dunno about AMD.
> Users accustomed to using powerd(8) or sysutils/powerdxx will find these utilities have been superseded by the hwpstate_intel(4) driver and no longer work as expected.

Using Bash scripts is how Omarchy does it, so if it works for you, it's ok.
I don't like YAML. Kubernetes had to come with KYAML. That's the other issue with Ansible.
I sometimes feel like this. Translating ideas to Ansible is awful, but LLM's are good at it. My only issue with Ansible is the Python dependency. Scripts are nice for simple stuff but get messy after a hundred lines or so.
I wouldn't mind LLM's destroying OnlyFans & the pr0n industry. And we had slop before AI in popular culture since at least the late 2000's.
People will eventually appreciate man-made stuff again. And the real thing and not just bytes. When I settle I plan to own paper books and vinyl records.

I wonder if we could achieve the same with mac_do(4). I haven't yet played with it.

POSIX shell only for simple stuff. Bash if you want lists and associative arrays.
But shell scripts spawn new processes and writing portables shell scripts is hard. It's better to use a proper scripting language like Python or Perl.
zram & zswap is a secret goal. The github repo mentioned in the wiki disappeared:

Fair. But how is this related to ZFS, Btrfs, etc?
Completion is something that shells can do depending on configuration. Adapt the one for ZFS to your needs.
When the system begins swapping, having too much swap makes it worse as the system becomes unresponsive. 2GB is the maximum for me. Wish FreeBSD supported Linux's zram to get away with swap partitions. I'm running Debian with OpenZFS on a Raspberry Pi with 8GB RAM using zram with no issues.
