Can no longer change desktop background
As of turning on my computer today, I started getting a Bazzite loading screen after signing in, and my desktop background is just black. I am currently unable to change my background no matter what I try, and the wallpaper engine plugin for KDE that I was using just completely disappeared. I redownloaded the plugin, but have no options to link to my wallpaper engine folder or change my background. For clarity, even if I try to just change to a normal built in static image, the background still does not change.

After more research, I see that Bazzite removed the built in wallpaper engine plugin, which is probably why I had an issue.

Well I managed to get my desktop background changed by just swtiching to a solid color, then it allowed me to actually start changing it to whatever else again. Now I'm running into the issue of the KDE wallpaper engine plugin not having all of its dependencies, and I'm unsure how to fix that on Bazzite

After following the commands for re-enabling the wallpaper engine plugin, everything is working now.
