From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

At a quick glance, the Sweet Ambar Blue SDDM theme has two versions -- one for Plasma 5 and another one for Plasma 6. You probably want the one for Plasma 6. You can check which version of Plasma you're running in System Settings -> About this System -> KDE Plasma Version.

Be extremely careful when installing Plasma/SDDM themes. They are user-submitted, not always reviewed, and can contain arbitrary code. There have been incidents involving ~~malicious~~ damaging code downloaded through Plasma global themes.

No malicious code was involved, just buggy code.
