I have been having this weird issue with KDE Plasma 6 on my Arch Machine in which my KDE widget screens and window/desktop select are just completely blank. I can’t create a new panel, time widget, or even customize my desktop to any reasonable degree due to this bug. I can’t even pinpoint when it happened either, which is my initial method of tracking down bugs like this.
In the event that I need to, I am willing to uninstall KDE plasma entirely and then reinstall it. I never did customize the desktop because of lack of time, so it is prime time to reinstall if needed. I just wanted to avoid purging my /home directory, so no OS flash to fix the issue.
