KDE loves all your stuff, but you need to port it for it to work in #Plasma6. We have created a handy, easy-to-follow guide for extensions and widgets at
https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/widget/porting_kf6/
Theme developers, please check out this:

Close all tabs and open frames until you have one (1) tab and one (1) frame (say your home directory), no split windows.
Tick the "Show Hidden Files" checkbox in your menu (or just hit Ctrl + h) to show hidden files.
All the folders, tabs and frames you open from now on will show the hidden files.
Neon will have it already. Arch is usually fast, too, as is openSUSE Tumbleweed. Beyond that, not sure. Sorry.
