I was having the same issue with discover when I was trying LXQT a few weeks ago and I wasn't able to find a fix. This post made me look into it more and according to this reddit post, Discover uses the Kirigami UI framework, this led me to this forum post which says that you need to install the 'plasma-integration' package to make QT themes work with Kirigami based applications.
I like BTRFS and it's features but sadly Debian doesn't have a preset for it in it's installer so the only way to use it is to manually partition and I absolutely suck at that.
Debian with Flatpak and a Distrobox container running Arch is pretty good if you want a stable desktop with rolling packages.
