Problem updating from 6.2

It had been a while since I put my KDE neon drive in the hot-swap bay. Last night my 6.2 updated then got upgrade notification. Allowed it to run. Fatefully SDDM reared its ugly head and even though I had entered password correctly I was not being allowed in. I dropped to tty shell and installed workspace for Wayland and started a Wayland Environment which led to a black screen and some Gnome-like workspaces and search bar. I launched synaptic and installed gdm3. Tgis pulled in a full Ubuntu 22.04 install with Gnome desktop, obliterating my Plasma. Why doesn’t neon do the sensible thing and use Debian ‘bookworm’ instead of Ubuntu? I think i am going to repace it with EndeavourOS.
