So I am attempting to install Latte Dock based setups and many of them require "OSXLaunchpad", I could not find it anywhere on the KDE/Plasma stores nor on the websites but I found this repo. I am unsure if this is the same OSXLaunchpad as mentioned in the mcOS Plasma setups and if so how I should go about installing this so that I can use it and I am unsure why this has become impossible to find, or if this is even the original/intended one. Thank you in advanced.

Hello, thank you for your interest. Yes, this is exactly the extension that is indicated in the tutorials. You can't find it because I removed it from the KDE store. This extension is a fork of Launchpad Plasma. At the time the extension was created, the original lacked scrolling animations, static background blur, and had various inaccuracies that I tried to correct, but after a while the original author added all these functions (I didn’t know how to use GitHub at that time, I probably could have just made a pull request). After some time, other forks appeared and then plasma drawer. Therefore, I thought that it makes no sense to create forks that are not much different from the original or even worse.

In this regard, you can simply use the "Plasma Drawer" or "Plasma Launchpad" plasmoids. I have an old version in my releases, I will attach the latest one that was published below, if you want to see this particular version. But you will have to install it manually. It seems with the following command: plasmapkg2 --install OSXLaunchpad.tar.gz OSXLaunchpad.tar.gz
