Note: KDE is not ditching FreeBSD. This is the new login manager, which was forked from SDDM to take advantage of systemd. SDDM will still work on FreeBSD, has not been abandoned, and KDE will still work on FreeBSD.

Finished my CrossCode theme SDDM login screen.
It still has some caveats, but I wanted it for myself so just sharing the work.

If you are on KDE with CachyOS, to upgrade from the old SDDM Login to new Plasma Login. Follow these commands in your terminal.
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -Syu plasma-login-manager
sudo systemctl disable sddm
sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin
sudo pacman -R sddm-kcm cachyos-themes-sddm sddm
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -Syu plasma-login-manager
sudo systemctl disable sddm
sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin
sudo pacman -R sddm-kcm cachyos-themes-sddm sddm
A new installer iso has been released for cachyos.
This introduces a bootloader selection in the installer itself, Limine bootloader as default (the best one, its what I use), SDDM has been replaced with Plasma Login for new KDE installs, Gnome packages cleanup, and more

This is only for the login manager, you can still use SDDM.
You should not waste time trying to divide good open source communities like that. You're only fueling hate and not arguing about the change.

im using linux as a desktop both on my laptop and desktop pc and never broke sddm. How is it possible to break sddm or break linux install in general is a mystery to me

Literally nothing will make Plasma itself not work on FreeBSD as long as Wayland is available on it and C++ compilers support it. I promise you literally nothing is gonna happen. People will package Plasma on FreeBSD with SDDM and that's it.

You're not being kept from using Plasma outside Linux, only their login manager. Be real, it's not much work to use SDDM instead or type xstart, you're complaining about a nothingburger and you are not entitled to your every demands met by a non profit. These people have way too much work as it is

was investigating why kde couldn't boot into an x11 desktop session on nvidia (I normally use Wayland) from sddm and then it suddenly struck me that I Don't Give A Flying Fuck
