Plasma visually bugged following an upgrade on FreeBSD

Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:
I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.
On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.
Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)
I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.
SDDM, KDE Plasma, root-on-OpenZFS – simple. On Linux.
Yes, I'll install the theme snaps.
Will I install zectl – a ZFS boot environment manager for Linux? Maybe …

Non-systemd operating systems like the BSDs, Devuan, etc...
Do we think there will be some kind of work around in place for Gnome 50?
Has KDE articulated a plan either in favour or not for systemd-only in the future similarly to Gnome?
Xfce stated a direction?
I'm going to guess that Cosmic will always be only systemd.
Shoutout to @kde for the quickest fix ever to any software I use every day:
I report a #Bug , go out for a bike ride, and it's fixed when I'm back!
Thanks a lot, folks :)

Now I hope @fedora will include that ASAP :)

![Screenshot of GhostBSD running Plasma.
There's a Plasma default panel with some pinned icons floating on the left, a konsole running bsdebfetch with some system stats and three picture frames: bottom right with "RunBSD" Logo and center and top center stickers with slogans concerning "mamma carcinomas".
There's a bottom panel with a pager widget showing two virtual desktops.
Both panels are set to dodge windows.
Colours follow Plasmas twilight settings.

Robię szybki test / przegląd "grania na linux" dla syna sąsiada: "Linux jest ok, ale czy będę mógł pograć w ulubione gry?"
Zainstalowałem Steam, śmiga. Gry "na windows" też. Starsze tytuły również.
Co jeszcze doinstalować / sprawdzić, by maszyna z KDE Plasma odpalała to co maszyny Windowsowe?
Jeśli chodzi o porady sprzętowe, to mniej mi zależy na nich, ale też chętnie poczytam.
Testy robię na starszym ale mocnym lapku i7 z dwiema kartami gpu: intel dla elektro-oszczędności i nvidia do gier. Nie celujemy w najnowsze tytuły wymagające super mocnych bebechów.
Dzięki za porady :)

GNOME looks easier for non-technical users, but in practice it’s just more limited.
COSMIC is the one that looks most promising for me, but feels early days.
