At first Instead of my SDDM I would just see an after image of what was last displayed on screen. But if I typed in my password and pressed enter, it would let me in just fine. Then after following some suggestions from users in r/Kubuntu I’ve made a bit of progress. Now when I boot up my computer instead of the SDDM being invisible, it now doesn’t load at all, from there I switch to tty3 then back to tty2 and then log in through the terminal. After that I run startplasma-wayland and then I have access to my desktop. The post where all this went down - https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1nvreuo/sddm_not_rendering/
Does anyone know a fix? I would like to be able to see my login screen.
Here’s my specs in case that would help - https://i.imgur.com/XtC43zw.png
And here’s my journalctl output after booting and launching plasma - https://pastebin.com/nnGsWebd

Had the same issue on arch. This is what fixed it for me https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#KDE_Plasma_/_KWin

I have had that happen to me on my Opensuse Tumbleweed with KDE and wayland. When it happens, it is because of Nvidia drivers. I have pinned mine, to an earlier version.

I tried an older version of the nvidia driver and nouveau and the issue still persisted on both.

SDDM is really buggy and I would just recommend switching to a different session manager

That's an option? How would I go about doing that?

you can install it from your package manager, disable the sddm service and enable the service associated with the session manager you installed
