It seems that screen lock is being prevented by certain apps like Discord or any other app with active usage. I created a small shell script that tracks my mouse movement and forces a screen lock after a specified idle time. Is there any way to get around this issue? I’ve found numerous bug reports about this problem but no solutions.
I’m trying to avoid OLED burn-in.
Plasma 6.0.5 / Kernel 6.6.41
*** EDIT: Since I couldn’t find a feasible solution for unconditional screen locking with these apps, I’m using a small function that tracks my mouse movement and locks my screen after 6 minutes and 3 confirmed idle states. Maybe this will help someone.
