sddm & wayland config
Thanks everyone for your time - installing xorg-minimal solved the issue; next version should solve the issue topic discussed in sddm github. I leave the following here just in case someone with skill & time comes across - seems a bit of love would not hurt sddm: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1471

Kubuntu changed my login screen
No, the picture shows that the login manager is still sddm, but somehow the login theme used by sddm has been reverted to the sddm default of the 'maui' instead of the 'breeze' theme used by default in Kubuntu. The package shipping the breeze theme (sddm-theme-breeze) may have become uninstalled, or sddm config changed somehow to not use breeze.

I'd recommend checking in on the IRC channel or opening a Github issue, much better way to get in touch with the developers! I'm just a very enthusiastic user who likes to report bugs. :D

help me choose a wm
Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.

What window manager or desktop environment do you use?
I've been using labwc for nearly a year now and I'm really happy with it. Its a simple floating wm though, so not sure that would be something you are looking for.
