[systemsettings] [Bug 427807] Default settings are not always Plasma defaults but sometimes overwritten by distribution

I already feared that and it makes kind of sense to handle it this way. The
problem is that almost no distribution (apart from Neon) has upstream defaults.
openSUSE for example seems to replace the application launcher icon (Kickoff)
as many others including Manjaro do. So it is rather hard to get a "normal" KDE
experience by default, especially if one is looking for rolling release
distributions.

Also not that this has not been introduced in 5.20 for me, but has been like
this before, so maybe you are talking about something different that got
changed with 5.20?

Does that mean only one setting will be highlighted as changed from default
(for the global theme) and deviated settings will be recognized as inherited
from that theme? Else I don't understand how it will work unfortunately.

This is an intentional change in Plasma 5.20: we now respect the distro's own
default settings. If a distro wants to overwrite Plasma's defaults with their
own, that's their right. If you don't like your distro's deviations from
upstream defaults, you should ask your distro to change them, or use a
different distro.

We are planning to refine this in Plasma 5.21 by making the default settings
specific to each global theme. So for example if you switch from Manjaro's
Breath global theme to the upstream Breeze global theme, all of the default
settings will reflect Breeze, not Breath.
