FreeBSD has supported Plasma for a long time, but on OpenBSD, it’s been a long time coming. I believe a KDE desktop hasn’t been available on OpenBSD since Plasma 4, perhaps even KDE 3.

        In comparison, Plasma is heavy.

        Yeah but that’s not the claim the OpenBSD developer made. The question was which notebook he would recommend now, not 10 years ago, and the reply was a strong one.

        All of Plasma’s fancy features come at a performance cost, after all.

        No, not by today’s standards. It runs fine on potato hardware.

        Plasma always needed slightly better than average hardware.

        Average hardware of which era? Plamsa runs smoothly on a Steam Deck which is artificially power-contrained to preserve battery. Plasma Mobile is for phones.
