Cannot edit SDDM wallpaper as it always reverses to default and can't add new themes either.

If I selected a wallpaper it resets to the default /usr/share/backgrounds/convergence.jxl If it tried to install a new theme from a compressed file I get an impossible to extract error If I add it to /home/nicolas/.local/share/sddm/themes/ then it get detected by KDE but when I disconnect to look at it, no style is applied (some kind of fallback fedora theme) I'm using bazzite DX

Known SDDM issue, they store their config files in /usr which is read only Can't fix it, KDE has to

The weird thing is that previously I did manage to replace the wallpaper

I applied my wallpaper to sddm by just clicking apply plasma settings to sddm in the settings.
