I'd like to thank @joel for the inspiration for this blog post.

![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.
Iconset: Nature Grey
