I understand!
I'm sorry it's this is difficult for you to fix!
If it were up to me I would've told you to just use Vulkan as that's the future
and probably has better drivers.
Looking at the begining of that 'vulkaninfo' output that I've put on PasteBin,
I see this:
Devices: count = 3
GPU id = 0 (Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)) -> this is my integrated GPU
that is the main one use everywhere most of the time and it has Vulkan support
GPU id = 1 (AMD Radeon R5 M465 Series (RADV ICELAND)) -> this is my discrete
GPU that doesn't have Vulkan support as MangoHUD once showed me

GPU id = 2 (llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits)) -> this is some fake / virtual
GPU I assume as I only have 2 physical ones.

I tried to see if there's any mention that the AMD only doesn't support Vulkan,
but I don't see anything like that.
Maybe it cannot be determined just with vulkaninfo.

BTW, in the meantime I booted both KDE Neon (testing) and KDE Neon (unstable)
that I have from 2-3 weeks ago (sorry I cannot get fresher ones as I'm on a
limited mobile connection) on the same laptop from a USB pendrive.
The problem presents itself in both KDE Neon version and in both the pills /
labels appear only in the X11 session.
So this is not a Debian unstable problem only.

Unfortunately this seems a hard problem to fix and it's ok if you want to
postpone for some other time.
I was just surprised to see them in the X session and remembered reading about
them in Nate's blog some time ago and wanted to let you know that for some
reason I'm not seeing them in Wayland.
I don't have another computer next to me at the moment to try there too with
other GPUs.
