Will Pop!_OS ever do an officially KDE flavor or will it forever be GNOME-only? Would you like Pop!_OS to do a KDE Flavor? (Poll)
Interesting. If you don't mind, I'm working on KWinFT, originally forked from KWin, and now in the process of splitting out reusable libraries for compositor creation. My goal is to provide desktop-agnostic template libraries, so might be a good fit for you.

wallpaper engine on linux?
If you use the KDE desktop environment you can use the following repo: wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin There is a generic repo but for me it never worked, but I'll leave it here anyways: linux-wallpaperengine

Run Desktop - Plasma in root window?
And before people start saying I can use things like feh or xwinwrap to set the desktop, that won't work as my use case is to use this plugin to run wallpaper engine in kde. There are alternatives like this but they don't render all the effects so its not as pretty.

There might be a back-end way to make it work, but I'm not sure. For instance, this program is "an attempt to make wallpaper engine wallpapers compatible with Linux"
