[Howto] startkde is gone in Fedora 31 (if you are thinking about upgrading and using KDE)

If you are upgrading to Fedora 31 and use KDE, just to be aware that ‘/usr/bin/startkde’ is not present in Fedora 31

This caused issues for me when trying to start X (using kdm too). The cleanest solution I could find was to do:

ln -s /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 /usr/bin/startkde

Can your, please, edit:

    "... trying to start X (using kdm too)."

My first tough were that your starting KDE from console (which caused issues for me in my Arch-box). But then i've followed the "See also"...
