From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Prevent display turning off when playing media (beehaw.org)

It's possible to inhibit the display turn off in kde using ``kde-inhibit --power --screenSaver ``` However, I want to inhibit the display turning off only when playing media (either by spotify or a browser), and let it sleep as usual when not playing media.

How could I achieve this? Is there a lower level solution that doesn't envolve the DE's setting?

Try putting the browser on fullscreen, see if that keeps the screen alive while playing.
