I've set a keyboard layout on all these distros to PT-BR (abnt2), with Arch being running on metal, and the rest on Boxes, and every time I look at Plasma's keyboard layout it's empty, meaning that it's set to EN-US. Pretty annoying if you're not in the US or UK. Assuming the devs are in the US; You reproduce the issue by trying to install any of these distros with abnt2 keyboard layout, then post-installation you should notice that your keyboard is working fine, which shouldn't be the case.
I've installed Fedora Kinoite 41 on Boxes with the Japanese keyboard layout, and the keyboard layout didn't have the Japanese flag there.
So there are different distro-specific issues? - On Arch, the keyboard layout you set in the installer doesn't appear in the KCM - On Fedora Kinoite, the keyboard layout you set in the installer does appear in the KCM, but it's missing its flag Do I have that right?

I didn't even knew I could see the keyboard layout without the country's flag being listed in "Layouts", how do I do that? My issue is that no matter what distro I use, my country's flag is not appearing under the "Layouts" section of the Keyboard settings, even though I set it on the installer.
Can you please answer the question directly?

The keyboard layout I've set in the installer nor its flag appears under "Layouts". 2- No. The keyboard layout I've set in the installer nor its flag appears under "Layouts".
Thanks!
Looks like layout chosen during install isn't listed in the KCM afterwards, regardless of installer/distro/language. Confirmed on my system (Fedora 41), Kinoite, and openSUSE Tumbleweed. > Assuming the devs are in the US; You reproduce the issue by trying to install any of these distros with abnt2 keyboard layout, then post-installation you should notice that your keyboard is working fine, which shouldn't be the case. I tried this by installing with language set to Japanese, and the keyboard layout does in fact seem to be Japanese afterwards, it just isn't listed.
Seems like it might be x11 only: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/139cc1c06454e31cc87fb3c3fa799f5591d98ab9/kcms/keyboard/kcm_keyboard.cpp#L50
.. which is backed up by the fact that the bug isn't present in an x11 session.
