Hi, I hope someone can help me.
I just installed FreeBSD a few days ago (started with TrueOS but it felt like an impoverished version of Windows 98) I’m really impressed with FreeBSD and just how cohesive it all is compared to Linux. But I’m stuck on this one thing.
I want to install KDE 5 from git. The reason I want KDE 5 and not 4 is because it is more customisable and I want to make it look and feel more like Ubuntu’s Unity (I know, a niche requirement within a niche requirement )
Here’s where I am. The computer is bulk building KDE 5 with poudriere. It is taking hours because it only has a Core i3 processor. But I’ve been reading some poudriere tutorials whilst it has been building and realised too late I should have created a default ports tree with
