M1 Max MBP 14": KDE Setup hijacks login after updating to Plasma 6.7 #590
Description
This Asahi installation has been set up since Saturday and was working fine before Plasma 6.7 was installed. Since then, every time I boot normally, I briefly see an app showing me updates to Plasma before my desktop session gets hijacked by KDE Setup taking over everything. Moving to the text console via Ctrl+Alt+Fn+F2 does not accept my credentials attempting to login. Adding s --force to the linuz line in the GRUB boot config results in this message and otherwise no change in results after pressing Return. This essentially bricks my install, which makes me very sad.
You are in rescue mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, or "exit"
to continue bootup.
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
See sulogin(8) man page for details.
Press Enter to continue.

Seems like my boots are leading to desktop sessions nondeterministically split between getting hijacked by KDE Setup and appearing to let me log in to my user account but instantly crashing when entering my correct password, showing the text TTY for a split second, then showing a new login screen.

I was able to log in to the text TTY on a boot showing the login screen. It showed an error stating my home directory does not exist.
