No need to install KDE Plasma over Raspberry Pi OS, it is enough to use Lite, install kde-plasma-desktop and the other incantations, and the crucial and different step follows, as now X11 won't be pulled by Plasma on Debian 13. SDDM has experimental support for Wayland, in the sense that it does not yet work in a stable manner in the myriad platforms Debian supports, but on the Pi it works beautifully.
Code:
