Works (_some_ livewallpapers doesntwork). Was about to give up, but found what commands to execute on github source. For directory you need to specify Steam folder (I use flatpak steam, but it doesn't matter). Then looking for steam folder press right click and show-hidden-folders.

Just followed steps to install, but when changing desktop backgrund type select to Wallpaper Engine for Kde, it only displays positioning select and I checked that Steam and Wallpaper Engine are installed in the correct folder

9 The plugin is good, but is there a way to make the wallpapers run with discrete graphics?

Same here, downloaded, compiled and installed the plugin, but it's still marked as not-installed and the scenes don't work. Arch btw

8 It's truly a lifesaver and one of the main reasons I convinced myself to switch back to Linux, but it's a shame audio visualization doesn't work yet, as some of my favorite wallpapers rely on it

8 8 great Really nice way to get it working on KDE. Just needs a couple options added like tint and global bloom.

9 Como no se pueden poner escenas se deberia poder filtrar los generos porque como tengo escenas en mi capeta solo puedo elegir entre videos o web

reise-arnor

si puedes poner escenas, pero necesitas compilar el codigo del repositorio de github https://github.com/catsout/wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin
