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.

I like Plasma but the bug where the OS goes to sleep when using a joypad is pretty frustrating. It's an old bug now too.
I experienced that too and ended up just disabling the timed sleep mode. Not sure if it's actually related to KDE software or just a Linux bug in general though.
Last time I mentioned it someone posted the bug report for it (KDE). It was like 5 years old or something
Use gamemode
Oh not just me? amazing lmao
For what it's worth, there're some upcoming wayland protocols that will allow apps to announce their content type (ie. documents, games, media etc.) to the compositor which might finally mean Wayland will consider not going to sleep when a game is running
Yeah this is really annoying for me as well. I found that if you go into the system tray and click on 'power management' and then tick the box for 'manually block sleep and screen locking' it'll solve the issue. Unfortunately it means that your display won't go dark when the system is idle, so I have to remember to untick that box after I'm done gaming in order to keep that behaviour.
There must be a way to script all that
I made an extremely half-hearted attempt at it at some point, but couldn't immediately find any cli commands to toggle that option so I gave up pretty quickly.
