Finally! One of the most annoying issues is your system going to sleep while gaming with a controller, and KDE Plasma 6.6 will solve it.

As noted in a fresh This Week in Plasma blog post, developer Nate Graham notes “Using a game controller will now count as ‘activity’, stopping the system from automatically going to sleep or locking the screen”, which solves a bug report opened all the way back in 2013.

There’s plenty more, but for me that really is the headline fix as it’s happened far too many times for me to the point that I often just entirely turn off any sleep management or screen locking.

    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.
