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.
