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.

    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.

      I’ve had it once years ago and I just disabled sleep mode altogether.

    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

      You use your tablet as monitor? How does that work, KDE Connect over WiFi or something?

        Oh its a Drawing Tablet with a screen, an XP-PEN Artist Pro 13.3. It basically is just a standalone monitor that has a pen and digitizer for art

      Does Steam’s controller timeout setting not work with yours? It works on both my PS5 and 8BitDo controller on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

      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.
