Hi KDE folks, The FreeBSD Foundation's laptop project is choosing a small list of laptops and of desktop environments to target for our development effort. This means that contracted developers will be using the laptops and environments on these lists during their work, and that our testing will be done against these.
For the laptop list we are starting with the 13" AMD Framework laptop: https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/blob/main/supported/laptops.md We've chosen this laptop as the initial target for a few reasons. The Foundation has a good relationship with folks at Framework, and they have contributed bug fixes and improvements to improve FreeBSD. See https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/freebsd-on-framework for details. The Foundation also has a good working relationship with AMD, in case we need support during development. Additional laptop models will be added over time, taking into account vendor support and community feedback. For the desktop environment we'll start with KDE on Wayland. https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/blob/main/supported/desktop-environment.md. KDE on FreeBSD is popular, with an active development team. Please let me know if you have any feedback on these two topics. Best, Ed
