it appears there may be a component / componetnts of KDE plasma 6 that are missing from the kde-ubxi

I suppose the golden rule is "never use apt, use the equivalent rpk command" but it would be nice if that's what the instruction was in the installation live log, not "use 'sudo apt autoremove' " .

Excellent! I have created a GitHub issue for this bug, our next snapshot images will include all firmware by default.
