For reference, as written on rkward-users, the problem is that you are installing a KF6/Qt6-based version of kate, and the plugins from that will not work with a KF5/Qt5 version of RKWard. I'm working on a KF6 version, but it will be some more time before a release. If you are willing to compile from source, you can use a KF6 RKWard, today, and this should indeed be pretty stable, already (on Linux). For this you'll need the master git branch from https://invent.kde.org/education/rkward Generic instructions for building from source can be found at https://rkward.kde.org/Building_RKWard_From_Source.html although the package names and versions to install will no longer be correct. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance with that!

Don't hesitate to ask for assistance with that! Hi Thomas! Thank you for your prompt response. I believe I'll hold off until the KF6 version is available. Nonetheless, it's reassuring to learn there's an alternative installation method that circumvents the issue. Cheers!
