With regard to OpenBSD, I wonder how different things are for it compared to other *nix systems due to Xenocara. It might be worth figuring out at what version the major desktop environments are going to require systemd, which would also be seemingly a stopping point for their continued usage in BSDs.

It is indeed a shame that some desktop environments don’t fully work under *BSD. For instance, GNOME 3.12 on OpenBSD has a few things missing that would be there under Linux: working sound control, user accounts GUI, a network manager, and so on.

But. OpenBSD _does_ have GNOME 3.12. That’s something. So things aren’t quite so dire — not yet. anyway. I have no idea why FreeBSD doesn’t have GNOME 3 in ports by now, but I am not so sure that “Linuxisms” deserve all the blame.

P..S. As usual, thanks for the blog.

Window managers don’t really fill this gap.
