I've run into a strange issue using #KDE Plasma 6 on #FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE.
Pressing ctrl-c anywhere, whether it's in Konsole, Chromium or the desktop itself immediately logs me out of my session.
This issue only presents in #Wayland and not #X11 sessions.
Any help is appreciated in troubleshooting the Wayland issue beyond "just use X11".
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
