Subject: [PATCH] fix(vm): restore Plymouth splash and fix SDDM session
 selection

- Restore 'quiet' and 'splash' to kernel parameters to enable Plymouth.
- Re-enable graphics and virtio drivers for VM configurations.
- Add Interface=Qt5 to SDDM theme metadata for proper loading.
- Set default autoLogin.session to hyprland-uwsm to ensure correct session start.
- Enable services.xserver for improved display manager compatibility.
