SUMMARY These are the times it happened: * I screwed up when I was setting up my USB card for PCIe passthrough to my Windows VM. My GPU (6900XT) accidentally was passed through instead of my GTX 1060 (still figuring out how to avoid that in the future). * Another instance this happened is when my defective 6900XT was causing my PC to crash (which stopped happening after replacing it). In those times when my PC crashed, my Plasma config was reset to default (wallpaper, Latte, Plasma panels). KWin wasn't affected. Plasma wasn't the cause of the crash, but it became the victim STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make the PC crash (which I won't want to do unless it's by accident) 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Plasma configuration (i.e. Latte layout, wallpaper, panels) gets reverted back to default state. EXPECTED RESULT Configs should've been fine. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.23-76051523-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Just want to reiterate that Plasma is the victim, not the cause, of the crash, but I'd like for my configs to survive the crash if it happens again.
I forgot to mention that I'm using Btrfs. Dunno if that helps.

It also can't be removed.
> I forgot to mention that I'm using Btrfs. Dunno if that helps. I would highly recommend looking for filesystem errors, as this kind of thing has been known to happen then Brtfs freaks out. It will lock the filesystem and cause untold havoc in the name of preventing the untold havoc of silent filesystem corruption. It's kind of ironic, and why I don't use Btrfs!
