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.
Yeah I would suggest sticking with Trixy if you want a stable and reliable experience, I’ve been running Debian for well over 2 years now as a daily driver, I have not had the need to switch away from the stable branch.
Regardless have you tried reinstalling the KDE Packages?
sudo apt purge --auto-remove '*plasma*' '*kde*' 'sddm'; sudo apt install kde-full kde-standard kde-plasma-desktop task-kde-desktop sddm; sudo reboot
^The above set of commands will likely reset your KDE settings, wallpapers, etc so bear that in mind before running this if you need to back any settings up.^
