Start Kate with an empty document

There is a checkbox on the welcome page at the bottom to turn it off.

The setting is also to be found in: Settings --> Configure Kate --> Session and the setting is a check box named "Show welcome view for new windows"

Hat-tip

Clean Plasma Cache

Deleting all things with "plasma" in the name from ~/.cache then restarting.

If your Plasma/X11 looks YUGE

sudo vim /etc/sddm.conf
i

ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -dpi 96
escape
:wq

To use KDialog in Firefox
