I just upgraded to Fedora 44 KDE. I uninstalled sddm and sddm-kcm after installing and enabling the new plasma login manager. However I notice that a package called sddm-wayland-plasma is still installed. Is this needed by the new login manager or anything else or can I safely uninstall it as well?

Shouldn’t be, plasma-login-manager is a drop-in replacement for sddm

There are two packages you can renove.

My steps to switch to plasma login manager where

sudo dnf install plasma-login-manager
sudo systemctl disable sddm && sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin
restart
sudo dnf remove sddm sddm-kcm
