Does Plasma 6 work with X instead of wayland?
Which display manager do you use (e.g. sddm, lightdm?)

Please slow down and give us more details.

- what exactly is happening, did you never sucessfully get into the Plasma Wayland session?
- paste your emerge --info
- do you have plasma-meta installed?
- when you "try from console", what exactly do you run?
- delete ~/.cache to rule out an upgrade problem from that end
- as tomtom69 said, try with X session instead of Wayland, just select it from your display manager UI
- try the same with a newly created testuser profile

In addition to previous message points:
do you use sddm and wayland?
You can disable it with
systemctl disable sddm
and start plasma with
unset DISPLAY; dbus-launch startplasma-wayland

I assume you're using the legacy 470.xx drivers with that card. The wayland support was so broken with these drivers that it was removed (unusable, must stick to X11 until get new hardware)

So, as others have noted to try, please make sure you are starting a X11 session (the default is wayland, and unsure if it can detect that wayland is unusable to change that). If that didn't help, see the other things asturm mentioned.
