Automatic login doesn't work

Running the current latest stable, have configured the automatic login in sddm. Hardware: Gigabyte ab350n motherboard 5700x CPU RX 7600 GPU It gave me the warning about the kde wallet still asking for passwords, the button on the warning to open those settings did nothing but I opened kde wallet manager separately and set that password to empty. Auto login box is checked for the default created bazzite user but I still just get the password entry login page on boot. Running cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf shows

[Autologin]
Relogin=true
Session=Plasma (Wayland)
User=bazzite

...other settings

[Autologin]
Relogin=true
Session=Plasma (Wayland)
User=bazzite

...other settings

Solution:

My automatic login looks a bit different to yours, try adjust your session name to just "plasma" and see if that works. My /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf looks as follows ```...

This is a living room PC that's really only for gaming, I'm only using the desktop release instead of the -deck version because I encountered really bad performance issues that seem to be related to spotty 7000 series amd support? Felt like the card was locked in low power mode or something and was performing significantly worse than the RX 460 I had in the PC previously. If I could solve the performance problems I could just use the -deck version and get working auto login.

Huh that fixed it, thank you I guess the default value the UI puts in is wrong? Should I raise a GitHub issue?
