On top of creating the missing directory (see above), the second part of
the solution is to force sddm to use wayland

Gemini told me what to do. It works.


Step 1: Force SDDM to use Wayland

This tells SDDM to launch kwin_wayland instead of Xorg.

    Create the override configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf


then add this content: 

[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen --no-global-shortcuts 
--locale1



change permissions:

sudo chown -R sddm:sddm /var/lib/sddm/.config


at next reboot, everything is good. Not sure what evil , repercussions I
face because of this. Laptop is 7840U using only integrated graphics,
but at least on the first reboot, it worked.
