The plugin exists but I've never been able to make it work. Have you had any experience with it?
How recently have you tried it? I tried an older version on Debian 11 with KDE Plasma 5.20, and indeed it didn't work well, with only a tiny amount of basic backgrounds actually working.
Last week I tried it again on Debian 12 with KDE Plasma 5.27, with the latest plugin version released earlier this month. It actually works very well now, with many complex backgrounds working!
Of course it is still not 100 percent compatible, some backgrounds can even crash your Plasma session (I highly recommend backing up your Plasma settings first). But definitely usable.
