Yeah if no one ping on IRC I rarely answer and most of the time when I see it it is too late.

KhostBSD could be a good idea! I have no problem to have a KDE version of GhostBSD, that will need to be maintained by someone. I am only focusing on MATE, if @NevilleGoddard switch to MATE, XFCE would probably disappear unless he continue to maintain it.

Oh, also we are switching to TrueOS instead of FreeBSD.

I would like to help with Plasma 5, how can I contribute to the development? I'm not a programmer, but if you tell me how can I do it or what I need to do it, I will appreciate it.

Thanks

Actually, if you understand how to do the configuration file you could make ports for those configurations like we do for MATE and XFCE.

See https://github.com/GhostBSD/mate-installed-settings and https://github.com/GhostBSD/ports/tree/ ... d-settings

You can PM on the Forum, IRC and even on Telegram and probably better on Telegram.

Hi Eric,
Has any progress been made on this topic? I too could help with the KDE 5 plasma on GhostBSD if needed.

Not really, Kris Moore did plans to release a Plasma5 distro of TrueOS, https://pkg.trueos.org/iso/plasma-unsta ... 180913.iso. Since Kris is putting the effort into making a KDE Plasma5 version I am not really open to have GhostBSD ISO of Plasma 5.
