Steam and Heroic already block sleep while a game is running. For everything else gamemoderun can be used, which also blocks sleep. It's a nice fix but it's not as big of a deal was it may seem.

    Fixed an issue in Spectacle that could make some toolbars in Rectangular Region mode appear off-screen when using a multi-monitor setup where not all screens share a baseline.

    This one's big for me too cuz my monitors logical layout in KDE follows their physical layout (With my tablet below the right-hand monitor), and if you try to screenshot things on the left monitor, the toolbar with the option to Save the screenshot always fell off of the screen

    Holy crap. After decades of this issue, it got finally fixed. What took so long?

    yeah but how do we get our ps4 controllers to turn off on their own without having run to the shithub

    If you have Steam running, I believe you can disconnect with a quick PS+Triangle. Otherwise just hold down the PS button for a few seconds, which is annoying but better than switching tasks.

    10! ten whole seconds! almost enough time for the first part of the dial-up tone to get started

    EDIT:
    Also, i don't like how steam doesn't let us use the touchpad easily, you gotta hold down that power button and use a thumbstick, which sometimes takes me so long to get to the perfect right spot that turns off the controller hahahah

    fuck

    the 10 sec poweroff is the second reason why I stopped using a ps4 controller. the first is it being recognized as an audio device. the third is the friends I provide tech support for use them and constantly complain about the audio or other issues but don't want to switch to anything else.

    Huh, this has never happened to me while gaming with a controller.

    This varies on the setup. A lot of gaming distributions ship with "gamemode" which among other things, may prevent your system from going into sleep whenever a game is running.

    I presume the change in Plasma is so it considers controller input as "user presence" and doesn't go to the screensaver/sleep

    That's an odd issue. Still glad they fixed it.

    Fuck yeah, I'm tired of having to use the trackpad to move the mouse because my screen dimmed.

    This KDE bug was reported in 2013. I’m scared to look up the Windows bug report date…

    OMG finally. One of my top irritations since switching to Linux is that I can't use system power-saving features because they don't respect my ganepads or wireless keyboard and wake.

    "Activity" just for determining sleep or does it count as general HID activity? Are drifting controller sticks the new mouse jiggler?

    Guess I won't need joystickwake anymore.

    It's a bit late for me, I've now gone back to XFCE with X11 and I'm very happy with it.

    KDE not beating their "windows vista of linux" allegations but at least they're addressing issues eventually.

    I've never heard of them.

    I will say though, I have used KDE for a very long time. I cant think of any complaints other than that one, and even then, there has been a button to block sleep and screen locking after inactivity for I don't even know how long.
