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.

      I wanted to try the latest possible version of Plasma. I don’t want to hop to a non-Debian base and Neon has certain issues - being based on Ubuntu is the major one - which puts me off.

        I’m a loooooooong time Debian user. I don’t do Ubuntu or other variants.

        I only run sid on a test machine because its always broken in some way, testing on another, and then the majority is deb stable.

        If I want the latest and greatest and to actually use it though, not just see what’s coming and where issues might be for me later, I use arch. FWIW I use arch on two out of four laptops (one is deb stable, one is a work windows laptop), one Debian sid, testing, and stable each on (somewhat) matching spec workstations, and then deb stable (or deb stable + proxmox) on the rest of the bunch.
