Maybe 3 seconds would have been good enough.

It sounds like you have ksplash disabled. It does exactly what you're requesting. Can you check systemsettings-> colours and themes -> splash screen.

I've now switched to Breeze's Splash screen ("Tela de apresentação" in PT-BR) and rebooted, I saw the KDE logo, then the Desktop flashbanged the screen without any fade. Ok, so there is a fade, but here are the problems: 1- There's no message saying that the Splash screen fade is tied to the Animations menu, which is terrible because this is an accessibility feature. 2- Even at the slowest animation possible, the fade from black into the desktop seems like just a second long. 3- I don't want the bright white KDE logo. Perhaps is should be possible to have the fade from black into the desktop without any splash screen and without having a very important accessibility feature undocumentedly depend on the Animations menu. I'm not going to add multiple ways of fading. The longer term plan is to get rid of the black screen in the middle. The more paths we have the harder we're making that final task.

There is still the bug with the fade. This time it didn't happen, despite having everything enabled, as I show in this attachment.
So Plasma Login Manager will be too fast that it will not have a black screen after login in. >So Plasma Login Manager will be too fast that it will not have a black screen after login in.
More the stuff on the plasma side; and it's not just about being fast but not taking over the screen till the contents are up.
