kde-configuration-files VS konsave

Currently mainly through copying the configuration files, which are in a big heap under ~/.config (a list is at https://github.com/shalva97/kde-configuration-files)

You may want to take a look at the following repository: https://github.com/shalva97/kde-configuration-files

https://github.com/shalva97/kde-configuration-files in this repository are noted many config files for different KDE related stuff. and also some handful of commands that might help you to automatize workflow. Examples like using kwriteconfig5 for different files.

No idea.. I never tried to reset plasma settings. Try to google that. This may help you tho -> https://github.com/shalva97/kde-configuration-files

Overview of KDE configuration files: https://github.com/shalva97/kde-configuration-files

The Arch wiki on KDE points to a GitHub repo someone made, don't think there's any similar official version though.

so I picked EOS, with KDE Plasma because I found something called Konsave and they said KDE Plasma is the most customized DE, so I'm sold.

It is smooth sailing until now, I suggest this to save and replicate your config.

I'm using Konsave to backup my Plasma config.

It's a bit of a mess - I'm kind of hoping that Plasma 6 will bring back some structure into this, but I'm not getting my hopes too high. In the meantime there are a few tools to make this easier, such as konsave (it comes preconfigured for Plasma).

You can copy files manually or use something like konsave

There is konsave which was recommended by one of KDE developers on video, though I did not test it.

I use konsave to backup my KDE settings so I don't need to recreate my panes and widgets when they're lost (what happens 3 or 4 times per week). But after restoring a backup I need to log out. Is there a way to force a reload of Plasma without having all my apps closed? Can I maybe kill and restart some specific process?

I have tried loading it into the iso using Konsave(https://github.com/Prayag2/konsave), But it didn't work. :(

I haven't found any system (Linux distro, Mac, or Windows) that seems to really reliably do major version OS updates. I think I'm migrating to the viewpoint that it's better to just concentrate on having scripts/exported configs etc. that allow me to set up a new machine super quickly. Learned you can save your KDE desktop, in that vein - https://github.com/Prayag2/konsave.
