SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be on Nixos (maybe its nixos specific, maybe the unstable channel as I am on that)
2. Install KDE plasma
3. Have a monitor and plug it in
4. POTENTIAL FACTOR -> Have a igpu and dgpu (nvidia) with optimus  
5. Try the wayland session

OBSERVED RESULT
The wayland session, when I start it from SDDM, it will remain as a black screen, with a loading icon sometimes, then after a short while, like 10 or more seconds, it seemingly crashes and sends me back to sddm. This is not a issue with x11 (on multimonitor)

EXPECTED RESULT
It should load up the same way x11 does, and not crash and return to sddm
