What a fuss for nothing. KDE Plasma ecosystem already has several incompatible applications.
Also don't conflate using "user friendly" thus bloated desktop with the skill level. There are a lot of professionals that use FreeBSD/KDE. Plasma for sure will remain relevant on FreeBSD for years to come, but I do agree with the person that dropped a "told you so" reminder on the Mastodon thread, if they ever start killing off BSDs. You can never know.
Linux affairs are corporate, essentially. Driven by Red Hat and to lesser extent Canonical, who are in tight partnership with Microsoft, Amazon. They aren't about Unix anymore, but a host for application deployments to cloud. Systemd is important piece of that story. Don't get me wrong, the LXC things work, they're not nearly useless or complicated in implementations such as Docker, Kubernetes as some make them to be, and they run a lot of important stuff on the planet. But that level and that kind of OS integration vertical is not something we want or can emulate.
So they give the direction and direction is not an general purpose Unix-type OS anymore but something different. And the rest have to follow or make their own workarounds, until that becomes impossible.
I assume at some point in the future we are going to have a BSD native desktop, as Linux will drift off completely, and FreeBSD will then remain the most used "still Unix" OS.
