| 92 | The command below does not update the Ports tree. It updates the package list and all the installed packages, respectively. | |
| 112 | This command is overloaded with multiple concepts. The pkg install drm-kmod part is about installing and configuring a graphcis driver. It also implies that an user runs Intel or AMD graphics, because NVIDIA DRM driver is provided by the separate drm-nvidia-kmod kmod. The pkg install xorg command implies that an user is going to use X11 rather than Wayland. At the moment it is indeed the best choice for Plasma, but it may change it future. The pkg install sddm part is installing a display manager. SDDM is supported pretty well and also has an integration with Plasma. But again, it is not the only choice and user may want to install a different DM. There is also the "startx" method of starting the graphical session, which is popular amongst developers. It might be worth documenting it too. So, maybe these three concepts should be put outside of this article or at least separated from the "KDE Plasma Installation" paragraph, as it is not really specific to Plasma. | |
| 112 | And speaking of xf86-input-evdev - I'm not sure if it is really required. At least the upcoming Plasma 6 already has a dependency on this package, so it can be omitted. | |
| 166 | SDDM can also be localized with sysrc sddm_lang="ru_RU" | |
| 171 | Continuing from my previous comment, maybe this section should come before the "Plasma Installation"? | |
| 215 | Alt+F2 -> System Settings -> "Appearance & Style" section. It allows changing the wallpaper and its type, change the default fonts and DE theme settings. | |

| 50 | According to: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/fdp-primer/book/#writing-style-be-clear Write in a formal style. Avoid addressing the reader as "you". This should apply to the whole article. | |
| 73 | Link for "Install" chapter in the handbook. | |
| 107 | For these applications for which we do have separate ports, add the links here. | |
| 174 | Replace first username with username and split the second one as "user name", so it is clear the first is a parameter and the second one is not. | |
