`/etc` directory means configuration files `sddm.conf.d` means "SDDM Configuration Directory". SDDM
/etcsddm.conf.d
RSee I really had no idea that's the purpose of the etc directory. Does it only hold configs for the OS itself or other apps too? One of my other issues is that apps seem to be able to be installed anywhere, and finding their directories are difficult. Simply searching through KDE sometimes finds nothing.
RAs in, typing the name from the desktop or searching via app launcher
Athis can only be fixed by experience unfortunately, the more you use it you will see the pattern
KOnly OS and system apps indeed, you gotta have admin permissions to edit it.
flatpak apps are in
flatpak apps are in
varsome flatpak use config in .config or .local i think
RI can tell you that apps installed via other apps or scripts like emudeck are hard to find. lol
Astuff like that should be documented in their respective website
KI think emudeck is kinda unique in installing wherever
Abut creating good documentation is hard 
Avim is true pain
Amicro master raceAor yknow
Avscode
Aor kate
Rdigging through docs is something I've got to resign myself to, at least for a while. Being on windows my entire life, I usually can intuit where things might be located. I can't do that on linux. I don't know what 90% of directories are used for.
Aif you feel like reading try
man man or man systemd

:bazzite::ublue:
Canyone know how to fix this error when trying to instal bazzite on a legion go? it mentions an array index being out of range when i try installing it on the boot menu
ROkay so another question. I've got two monitors, I use KDE, and I'd like to place app shortcuts on both screens, but after every system restart all the apps are consolidated on whatever is selected as my main monitor. Is this just a limitation of KDE or can it be fixed?
AAyou mean pinning apps on the taskbar/dock?
RNo like placing apps onto the desktop, basically as you would on windows.
Athat i have no idea, my desktop are wallpaper only
Rhow do you keep apps you use often like a browser easily accessible?
A^
Athe rest can be opened through start menu or whatever it is called
RYour taskbar doesn't get crowded? I have perhaps 8 to 10 apps I frequently use lol
Ai have 6 apps pinned across 2 monitor, so no
RI see. I guess I'm too much a windows user. I like putting icons onto my desktop lol
Aalso kde have a nifty feature like mac spotlight or powertoys run, try alt + space
Pits doable but shunned i guess
Pplasma will let you put stuff on desktop
Pthere should be a folder just like windows
ROh I do it, it's just not very well supported it seems. Every restart, desktop icon seem to be arranged wherever, KDE doesn't seem to save their positions, especially if they're on a secondary monitor.
Pyeeeeep
Pbecause to be honest it's the least productive way to manage this stuff
M/etc is the et cetera directory. By convention, this is the location for the local sysadmin to make configurations to the system. This will be where user applications get the default system settings before being overridden and where system applications are configured. Beyond those configurations, there is also some data like where groups, users, password hashes, and system keys stored.
Since /etc is used to modify the system state, you need super user privileges to modify files in the directory usually by default.
Generally speaking, /usr is where a distribution puts its default configuration, /etc is where the local admin modified behavior.

Pnot many people lock themself into that behavior on linux
RI know, but I'm a reforming windows user.
Pnot arguing with that
Pbut you might invest time learning other methods and enjoy that
KCan you be more specific or provide an image of the error?
Aso apparently the position are saved to $HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc you could try scripting to force override that but it will be very janky
Ai think even in windows i only open apps from desktop like less than 10 times
KWe've all seen pictures of windows user's desktops that are nothing BUT icons
Pyou will get used to using better semantics anyway, yeah
Kand they probably start everything from them
Aone of my former teacher treat their desktop like file manager lol
KI only have 2 desktop icons.
