Thu May 07, 2020 9:14 pm I have Kubuntu 19.10 (haven't upgraded to Focal yet) with Plasma 5.18.3 installed. I have my desktop set up in a Windows-style layout. I am considering experimenting with my desktop layout but I would like to be able to save my current layout so I can revert to it whenever I want. Is there any way to do that?

Thu May 07, 2020 10:13 pm There are a number of config files related to desktop settings, etc, as well as the theme files themselves, so most people back up their ~./config and ~./local folders, which also contain many other settings and the like for the whole user account. However, there is a new-ish widget that can back up just the plasma related items, called Plasma Customization Saver https://store.kde.org/p/1298955 You can get it from the Add new Widgets tool claydoh, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct, and KDE user since 2001
