The sddm-themes package wasn't installed on my F41 system, probably because it has never been installed on any previous version of Fedora. I have now switched over to the Maldives theme and I'll see how that goes. My system was originally installed with F38 from a live cd, so originally only had gnome with gdm, so I installed kde via a dnf group install and continued to use gdm (What is TDM?) but at a later point in time switched over to sddm because people on the Fedora mail list kept telling me I should be using sddm with kde when I was raising issues.sddm-themes in F39 contains elarun, maldives and maya. I don't remember what maya is like, but I like both maldives and elarun (and nearly everything else on the planet) better than breeze. That said, I have few installations with SDDM. On most I use either TDM or KDM, with or without Plasma installed.
I'm finding since F40 that sddm takes a long time to display the login screen after the gui boot screen finishes, and then when I launch kde it takes a long time to display the desktop and sits there thrashing the hard disk for several minutes after the desktop gets displayed, which then makes it difficult to run anything. I did check I/O's while this was happening via htop, but the app performing the most I/O's kept changing, so it was hard to try to pin down the culprit.
With one of the system updates I put on recently, I ran a needs-restarting --service after the updates were finished, and that listed a whole bunch of services that needed restarting. Two of them were kmod-static-nodes and akmods which made sense as the nvidia drivers were updated to a new version. It also listed sddm as needing restarting, so I mistakenly did so, which dropped me back to the sddm login screen, so I logged back into kde and kde went completely haywire, moving the mouse kept leaving pointer trails all over the screen, and I couldn't click on any desktop icons nor could I click on the kde throbber to restart the system because after a little the mouse pointer actually stopped moving, so the only way I could restart was to use the hardware restart facility.
regards,
Steve
