We have achieved FreeBSD 15.0-REL with KDE Plasma

Image
  Houston, we have installed #FreeBSD 15.0-REL with KDE Plasma 6.4.5 on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 laptop. I have come full circle. I used to daily drive FreeBSD 5.x on a Thinkpad a20p in the early 2000s. Today I used the "technology preview" method for pkg installation, too. I posted this from the laptop, of course!! Thanks to everyone who made this possible, including the parties who made the script to install KDE with one command.

The user doesn't need to manually ensure the dimensions are a square. The program makes the window grow and shrink while keeping the length equal to the height.      In June I created an equivalent program on Linux using VSCodium, Cline, OpenRouter, and Claude.   I provided this prompt, which I derived from the last project.   ==    Create a graphical Linux application to take screen captures with the following features: Square Region Selection: Enforces a 1:1 aspect ratio during region selection 1:1 Aspect Ratio: Ensures all captures are perfectly square PNG Output: Saves high-quality images in PNG format Preview: Shows the captured image before saving Dark Mode by Default: Toggle to light theme if desired Square Interface: The application window itself uses a square ratio Default Save Location:...
