    I'm very surprised there aren't more KDE appreciation posts on here. It's such a beautifully round piece of software -- customizable, yet reliable and unassuming. It's exactly what the desktop experience, and software in general, should be: there for you when you need it, without making the entire experience about itself. I don't have to actively think about my desktop environment when I'm browsing Hacker News on Firefox, or writing code, or listening to music -- it looks back empathetically when a program goes wrong, or when my workflow changes and it needs tweaking, and everything else. You've made something brilliant, and it's definitely positively contributed to Linux's increase in market share.

Also a KDE dev here and I also love when people port KDE Software to more platforms. Related someone is porting KDE applications to Haiku https://discuss.kde.org/t/haiku-porting-efforts/9032 https://discuss.kde.org/t/haiku-porting-efforts/9032 and someone else is working on gitlab CI/CD directly to the Microsoft Store https://blogs.kde.org/2023/12/20/gitlab-microsoft-store https://blogs.kde.org/2023/12/20/gitlab-microsoft-store

  I remember in the early days of Mac OS X when i installed KDE. Was pretty surreal. Then i spent to much time to try create a DarwinBSD distro with KDE.

He said that it took multiple years of work to get this running. I wonder if such effort could be simplified somehow? Maybe from KDE side?

  I'd love to get an in-depth post-mortem-style experience report from the author on what gave them the most trouble. We regularly invite distribution packagers to give talks at our annual Akademy conference to provide this sort of feedback, I can't imagine an OpenBSD talk submission getting turned down!
