I've just installed artix linux and the de keeps setting the application theme back to gtk no matter how many times, i change it. besides that, the brightness of the system get's reset on every single reboot of the system.
I installed artix linux openrc with the gui installer.
Read this wiki article (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Troubleshooting#When_I_switch_theme_in_Plasma.2FMATE.2FXFCE.2FAnyDEorWM_the_colours_are_broken.21).
It should help you understand how theming is handled in Artix and how to escape our darkness.
Settings to make if you prefer a clear style (Adwaita) :

This is overkill, I just tested today's community-qt Plasma. All I had to do was:
- Select 'Breeze' in Global Theme and Application Style
- Select 'Breeze Light' in Plasma Style and Colors
- Comment out QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME in /etc/environment
Logout/login and profit.

Thank you for showing us this simplified procedure.
I use XFCE with the Dolphin file manager, maybe that's why I have to go through all these manipulations.
Why did you have to do that?
