Try installing the qml-module-qtquick-particles2 package. If that fixes it then it's a known distro issue and being worked on
Comment 2 Ezike Ebuka 2020-10-18 20:40:35 UTC
Yeah that fixes it thanks
Comment 3 Nicolas Fella 2020-10-18 21:18:47 UTC
Thanks for confirming, it should be fixed in KDE Neon by now.
