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.

Related to kwallet if it's installed.
I have noticed other people with kwallet issues, but that only affects me when I restart my system (asks for password). Other than that, I can't find a way to edit or disable kwallet without installing a 2-star app on the KDE Discover store that might not work and is reviewed as extremely annoying.
I just apt uninstalled kwallet on my systems, or used the options in systemsettings to disable the subsystem.
I believe if you manually edit the wireless network and set it as "available to all users" that will also work around this, though resulting in the password being stored in plaintext in one of the NM config files
Unfortunately, several other programs use this as a dependency and some of those programs are required by stuff like plasma-meta.
