Interesting! I wonder if it's a Wayland on KDE-specific thing. I'd read it as a security and efficiency feature of Wayland's, where it suspends applications that are not in the viewport. An example case is that I'm playing FFXIV on virtual desktop 1. On virtual desktop 2, I have whatever thing I'm looking up or collecting in the browser. While I'm on virtual desktop 2, it suspends the game on desktop 1, which wouldn't be a big issue in single player games as much, but in games that call to a server, like FFXIV or Overwatch, it disconnects you from the server.
I was able to get around this by using Windowed Fullscreen and turning on Caffeine so that my computer wouldn't sleep, but the turn screen off feature also changes the viewport, so I've had to disable that feature entirely.
Then I work from home, my home computer is hooked up to the sound system, so I'll play music through it, but then be on my work computer next to it. I'd like my computer to still black the screen and lock, but the moment it does either, viewport changes, music cuts off.
If it's viewed as a security feature, then the fix should not to have to be preventing your screen from going off or locking. I'd loooove the ability to set certain apps from suspending when not in the viewport. Bonus points if it's one of the features added to gamemoderun

omg I've been noticed by the Margo Robbie ;)
I know George Takei is on Mastodon, I'd love to see what celebs make it to Lemmy
While I know it's not the best distro, I don't care to re-image, I left that life behind with Windows.
Manjaro-
I love the fact that I can have "Stable" and "Unstable" kernels installed simultaneously. It's a nice handy way to recover or narrow down if an issue is related to the kernel. They've done an excellent job with the default Grub settings to allow this as well as side-by-siding with Windows if I want (which made transitioning from Windows to Linux easier).
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
I like to think we're all here like "hah hah, look it's Margot Robbie" and in a wild turn of events, find out that it actually was all along
Very fair point
I'm thankful they're finally doing something about vsync, but I'm still going to need the option for preventing app sleep when outside of viewport. It sounds like an odd complaint, but it means not being able to have a game on one virtual desktop and its wiki on the other. It means not being able to let music run while I'm working on another computer. It's running better, and I'm glad to see it starting to play nicer with Nvidia, but not quite ready to make the leap 100%
You're a real one, thanks a ton! I'm going to absolutely load up on these now :)
Oh for real, I won't deny there's legit plenty to call them out on, and as well we should, but I was always baffled that they just how much they get, especially compared to Canonical.
What are some good places to follow on Pixelfed? I haven't had much luck finding accounts that appeal to me. I'd love to replace Instagram, but their algorithm is so damn good, and I'm struggling to find stuff that compares (which I'd expect since it doesn't hold the same "influencer" weight and has a smaller community to begin with)
Huh, I didn't realize others weren't having these impacts, because Xorg doesn't have these issues for me, it's just as soon as I move over to Wayland. I'm on the infamous Manjaro, though I had the same issues on EndeavourOS
