I meant that it should basically work if you use a graphics driver that has
proper Wayland support, like radeon, intel, or nouveau. Even fbdev or vesa
should do, but note that having nvidia installed breaks Mesa's OpenGL support,
(including its software renderer), so Plasma won't start at all in that case.
You'd need to uninstall nvidia, as mentioned.

There may be other problems/missing features or even crashes (might depend on
the actual driver in use), but you should at least be able to login.

I just booted Krypton on my radeon system here and it worked (it even felt more
stable than a few weeks ago when I last tried). I tried on an intel system in
the past as well, and it started there as well.

As Krypton is a LiveCD based on Tumbleweed (with the latest unstable KDE
packages though), it should work on Tumbleweed as well though I cannot
explicitly try that at the moment.

There's also a "stable" variant of Kryption btw, which comes with Plasma 5.7.0
(again on top of Tumbleweed).
