Ubuntu 24.04+KDE

Framework Laptop 16

New Framework customer here and a long time KDE user. Ubuntu 24.04 installs and works fine but both Kubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu with the kde-full package installed hang after reboot. I assume sddm is failing in some way (blank screen). gdm3 only lets me log in to a Gnome environment. Any ideas?

Thanks! Is gdm3 or lightdm a possible solution?

Yeah using gdm will work. There are also other workarounds posted to that series of bugs you can try if you want to stick with SDDM.

Has someone put together a list of instructions for plasma in gdm3?
