Can't change background in sddm
Just deleted bazzite-gnome and switched to kde. One problem I've encountered is that I can't change the background for sddm. If I go into the sddm settings and click on the picture to change the wallpaper to the background I want, as soon as I close settings it goes right back to the default. How do I fix this?

Ok. I'll give that a try tonight when I get home. Thank you. On a side note, as a newish user, what can go wrong with editing fstab?
Getting the fstab file wrong can get you stuck in Linux emergency mode. We have guides for getting out of it but it can be quite frustrating.
That did it! Thanks!
