Ok, I tried FreeBSD 15.0-ALPHA1 on my minipc:
- wifi is performing fine
- KDE runs fine on X and Wayland
- Media keys are not working but it should not be hard to make them work
- Suspension is not working - as expected
- Alt+Tab isn't working both on X and WaylandAll in all, the experience is ok.
I decided to try the latest GhostBSD: it runs fine, Media keys are working, wifi is fine, alt+tab works. Suspend/Resume isn't working, as expected.
I'm now installing KDE on GhostBSD.

@stefano what was again the reason for GhostBSD to exist?
And why couldn't they upstream their changes to FreeBSD? -

It started when using FreeBSD as a desktop was more complicated than it is now, and their work optimizes the entire installation for that purpose. Today, FreeBSD is working on the option to install KDE from the main installer, but GhostBSD continues to provide a complete and ready-to-use desktop environment. I have always appreciated the project. In my opinion, it wouldn't make sense to integrate their work into the base system; in the end, it's a kind of pre-configured distribution of stock FreeBSD, not a fork.
