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.

    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.
