So I want to switch my notification daemon from KDE Plasma's default to Dunst.
I couldn't find any working way to do so, and anything I got to know when doing all the things written in articles and other questions is that my /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service file doesn't exist, as seen on screenshot.

Screenshot from terminal, o.f.N with o.f.A.C for example: https://i.sstatic.net/jJLbv.png (I can't post images)

On my system org.freedesktop.Notifications is the name of a D-BUS service invoked by the file org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service.

This is the content of org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/bin/plasma_waitforname org.freedesktop.Notifications

This is the content of org.knopwob.dunst.service:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/bin/dunst
SystemdService=dunst.service

Although it's the opposite of what you are trying to do, the accepted answer to the question How do I disable Dunst and go back to notify-osd? may be of interest. It discusses how which org.freedesktop.Notifications service is chosen and it looks like there is some room for improvement in the process.
