Where did startkde go?

Tue May 26, 2020 1:37 pm
On a new Ubuntu 20.04 I've installed kubuntu-desktop (just like I did ever since ubuntu came out). It turns out to be plasma 5.12

However, I cannot find /usr/bin/startkde.

I am logging in using xrdp, so sddm is not the way I start my x session. It used to be .xsession contained "startkde".

What is it now?
In other words, how do I start kde from the command line?

There was a backwards-compatibility until Kubuntu 18.04, and with KDE 5.17 the old name was removed afaik.
