Reading the comments, looks like bad/old code mixed with a big update rather than anything malicious. I even ran into themes that killed my KDE last night. Had to purge the configs themes to get it working. Damn glad I didn't wipe my entire setup.

Correct. The theme creator missed a variable that is not part of the Plasma environment anymore, and instead of running

rm -Rf [something]

it run

rm -Rf

😬
