I am having trouble with Wallpaper Engine Plugin for KDE. Any insight?I've followed this guide and am still having trouble. My steam library folder seems to be in a different place than default ~/.steam/steam as opposed to the usual ~/.local/share/Steam usual. I don't think that should be an issue.
The guide I mention in the title
