Hello #Plasma 6.6, wellcome aboard.
To use the new plasma login manager, install it, enable plasmalogin systemd service, disable [sddm] systemd sercie, and restart (stopping sddm will kill you session).
To use extract text from screenshots (new spectacle feature), install tesseract and tesseract-data-eng (and/or other language data). I installed tesseract-data-dan for example, result in the note bottom right. Select language(s) in the spectacle settings.
NOTE: I had initially installed a bad tesseract-data file, so I renwed this post. Text extraction works very well, also in danish!

Just kidding. Any real world benefits switching from sddm to plm over in Linux Land so far or just because it's new? -

You can apply a bunch of your plasma settings to it.(ALT text created with spectacle ocr, btw)

@anderslund oh good point! hey, would i be correct to intuit you grabbed your AltText via the OCR of the new Spectacle? Clever! @Tionisla -

Yes, that is what I did. IT is faster than what the web interface does, and I think also more accurate.

@anderslund*shocked* now, now... don't tell me santa claus and the easter bunny also don't exist... They do! They DO!
ok, srsly. I still do feel a bit sad any time someone on Linux mentions a "just use sddm" (no offence, anders. I know it's not meant in bad faith from you).
Anyway... enough musings of an old person... Have fun, you both. Greetings from BSDland.
