Description

I made this post on reddit to linux questions about why my screen lock activated during the middle of an elden ring boss fight.

But the core reason this happened is because gamemode isn't a shortcut for for a proper wayland protocol, yes gamemode will disable sleep and lock screens but thats a band aid solution. I heard about this project and thought this was a very good place for this. Maybe this is a problem for the official wayland projects official protocols, but the RFC process greatly affects how soon these desktop stacks are seen as ready to use because of the slow down.
