10 of 100 Days of Linux

01 Dec, 2025

I had a problem that didn't occur with Windows and OSX. When I was on a call and didn't move the mouse for 10 minutes, the screen would freeze. I discovered that you need to make a change to Hyperland idle:

# Lock screen timeout (300s) and DPMS off (600s)
general {
    lock_cmd = $HOME/dotfiles/bin/bin/slock.sh
    before_sleep_cmd = $HOME/dotfiles/bin/bin/slock.sh
    after_sleep_cmd = hyprctl dispatch dpms on

    # Respect idle-inhibit requests from applications (default: false)
    # Browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Brave) automatically prevent idle during audio/video playback
    ignore_dbus_inhibit = false      # Respect DBus requests from applications
    ignore_systemd_inhibit = false   # Respect systemd-inhibit --what=idle
}

In return, I installed it on my home PC (as well as on the Dell XPS 13) and imported all my games onto Steam.
