Isn't it weird when KDE is the DE chosen to be part of the installer ?

@daftaupe the choice is not at all weird, it's explained in the information that the FreeBSD Foundation has made available.

#FreeBSD #KDE #Plasma

Well, I haven't found so much explanations except for the page I linked. I don't question the choice of KDE, just the fact that KDE which has been chosen to appear in the installer is removing FreeBSD support in a commit in its login manager. Especially when the commit message is "We rely on systemd/logind, so FreeBSD is not supported".
