Works fine on a new user. Also works on my user from Applications Menu or KRunner, just not command line.

Tried using a clean shell with env -i bash --noprofile --norc and it did not solve the issue Realized it launched with the Application menu. Saw that the application menu's launch command was kate -b $U and decided to give it a try: 
> kate -b %U

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, xcb.

Progress: This has something to do with my terminal (flatpak'ed Konsole) Doesn't happen in Ptyxis

Seems to be related to this upstream QT bug: https://github.com/mkiol/dsnote/issues/150 No real fixes other than not using terminals in flatpak (Black Box had the same problem). Not really completed but I'll get over it since it's irrelevant as far as Bazzite goes.
