Great news about Remote Desktop for Plasma 6.1.0, but on Fedora 40 with 6.1.0, I couldn't find the entry in the System Settings and one can imagine that many will be puzzled that it doesn't show up, despite being advertised. Thanks to Antonio Rojas, I know now, that krdp is required, but it had cost me a bug report. :) [1] It would be great therefore if the entry was shown even if the required package is not installed and offer the user their installation and maybe some explanations about how it supposed to work.

This isn't really possible, as the KCM is self-contained. If we added hints about its existence in other packages, it wouldn't be self-contained anymore, and then why not just bundle it with plasma-workspace? If Fedora didn't ship the krdp package automatically, that's a Fedora packaging bug. :) Tell them about it and I'll bet they fix it.
Hi Nate, thanks for your answer. May I ask what were the reason to make it self-contained? In the meanwhile, as you likely have seen, I've created an Downstream bug report. :)
I'm not sure why it was done in a separate git repo/package vs putting it in something universal like plasma-workspace. We don't really have a firm guideline for this kind of thing.

Anyway, this discussion should happen somewhere else for sure. Thank you for your time and work again!
You're welcome!
