Description Dan 2022-06-29 00:40:10 UTC 
Plasma starts perfectly when using X11, but when I try to use Wayland it fails with the following:

dbus-daemon[760]: [session uid=501 pid=760] Activating service name='org.kde.KSplash' requested by ':1.0' (uid=501 pid=761 comm="/usr/local/kde5/bin/startplasma-wayland")

The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?

Operating System: Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
Kernel Version: 5.18.7 (64-bit)
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2

Any idea how I can debug this? Thanks!

In the end it was the DISPLAY environment variable that was preventing wayland from starting. If DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set, Kwin will not use the DRM backend, so I'm closing this as "NOT A BUG".
