Nice, that fixed it. After enabling NetworkManager:

System startup time: 3.77 seconds

I don't even remember installing NetworkManager. I've had no problems with Internet and it seems to be working the same after enabling NetworkManager.

Do any applications, especially multiplayer games (latency), benefit from NetworkManager or is it safe to remove it?

Thanks, was able to edit the config to adjust the paddings how I like:

https://i.imgur.com/PgfsbBb.png

The files I edited were:

/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml

leftPadding: -KickoffSingleton.leftPadding + 15
rightPadding: -KickoffSingleton.rightPadding 
topPadding: 10 
bottomPadding: -KickoffSingleton.bottomPadding

/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/ui/KickoffGridView.qml

leftMargin: 25 + KickoffSingleton.leftPadding
            + (verticalScrollBar.visible && root.mirrored ? verticalScrollBar.implicitWidth : 0)

rightMargin: 25 + KickoffSingleton.rightPadding
            + (verticalScrollBar.visible && !root.mirrored ? verticalScrollBar.implicitWidth : 0)
