There could be some similarities.

Absolutely. It works when you blindly press ENTER. However, it is impossible to know whether to press enter key and screen is filled with various Apple EFI messages/errors/verbose warnings.

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
