Comparison between previous builds

SUMMARY
In KDE Linux build 202508261025, the login prompt on any TTY (e.g., tty3)
displays the hostname as archlinux rather than the expected kde-linux

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install kde linux  202508261025 build, raw file
2. boot into the live system, and use calamares to install the complete system
3. Boot into the installed system, finish the setup guide, enter the desktop,
and switch to any tty, I used tty3(ctrl+alt+f3).

OBSERVED RESULT
hostname in login prompt shows 'archlinux login'

EXPECTED RESULT
used to be 'kde-linux login:' or '{username}-standard-pc login:' for some
builds.
In 0703's build seems also to be 'archlinux login':

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
