Debian with Flatpak and a Distrobox container running Arch is pretty good if you want a stable desktop with rolling packages.

The forum post says that plasma-integration will conflict with qt5ct or qt6ct, so you could try removing those packages and see if that works.

I was having the same issue with discover when I was trying LXQT a few weeks ago and I wasn't able to find a fix. This post made me look into it more and according to this reddit post, Discover uses the Kirigami UI framework, this led me to this forum post which says that you need to install the 'plasma-integration' package to make QT themes work with Kirigami based applications.

Actually, I was using gparted yesterday! I was trying to format a USB drive to exFAT but the option was greyed out, so either gparted doesn't have support for formatting in exFAT or I needed an optional dependency.

Ext4 with LVM.

I like BTRFS and it's features but sadly Debian doesn't have a preset for it in it's installer so the only way to use it is to manually partition and I absolutely suck at that.

Proton recently introduced an AI "writing assistant" for emails called Scribe and a bitcoin wallet sadly.
