From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Widgets don't show up in KDE Plasma on Debian Sid (lemmy.ml)

I am using KDE Plasma on Debian Sid. I tried to edit the desktop background to add some widgets. However, it doesn't seem to work as no widgets are showing up in the list. I restarted the machine and yet the problem persists. I am attaching a screenshot. Any idea as to how I can deal with this?

It's not that the widgets are not there. If I click somewhere in the widgets list, then they appear on the desktop. It's just that they don't show up.
