Hello,
I'm a Debian Linux person myself, and at present I'm enjoying the KDE desktop in trixie. I've always sort of dismissed the BSD world, because I've been unsatisfied with the desktop experience, which they seem to sort of disdain as not being all that important.

Lately, the BSD people are trying to get KDE working in BSD. Anyone out there tried this? What sort of bugginess is there?

I don't use KDE, but my general experience with DEs is they suck on *BSD, ye'd better off with making something up with WM instead.
NetBSD comes with pretty neat pre-configured CTWM and for OpenBSD there's a minimal DE project called BareGUI. I haven't tried it (neither used OpenBSD really), but it looks cool
