Anything in particular? There were a few replies.

There's direction to use a more appropriate address, for KDE:

• kde@freebsd.org

Caution: it's portrayed as an email address for the KDE team, and not listed at lists.freebsd.org, however this does not mean that it's received by the five KDE/FreeBSD maintainers alone. Anything that reaches the address will be published, at a different server.

FYI:
I invested a lot of time but never got kde to work under Wayland. Neither version 5 nor 6.
So maybe it required fixes

I was able to make it work. KDE 5 and Wayland. However I was not able to get a higher screen resolution than 1024 x 768?
My monitor is 2k 2560 x 1440 max resolution. After lots of trial I gave up.
That said in the little 1024 x 768 low resolution window it was running nice and promising.

I was suspected that it could have worked with KDE 5. Do you want to document the steps that you have taken to make it works ? maybe we can find even some trick to improve the resolution (do ut des).
