I have an old Mac mini I've been using to try to learn freeBSD. I have my own little how-to guide I'm slowly composing as I go and I periodically wipe the machine and "rebuild" it from scratch using my guide.
I tell you that only so you know where I'm coming from. This is essentially always a fresh install with very little software installed on it.
So after playing around with a few UIs, I decided KDE was my best choice.
However TWICE now, it has frozen solid on me. The cursor moves, but everything else including the clock, is frozen solid. I *can* SSH into the machine and everything seems to work there. But the GUI is frozen solid.
So I guess I have two questions:
1) Is there some way I can "quit" and "relaunch" KDE to recover from this state?
2) And any ideas why this is happening and how I can prevent it?
The hardware is currently a 2012 Mac mini. Eventually if I get confident enough with this OS, I'll end up running it on likely an HP rackmount machine.
