A KDE Plasma screenshot from the 'power and battery' menu in the taskbar with a section titled "Sleep and Screen Locking after Inactivity" with the status "Blocked." The menu contains the following details: - A warning icon next to the text: "Your laptop is configured not to sleep when closing the lid while an external monitor is connected." - A Steam icon next to the text: "Steam is currently blocking sleep and screen locking (Client interface)." with a button next to it to manually unblock it. - Below that there's a button so you can manually set it to block going to sleep

So Linus on the WAN show last night was talking about how he had trouble diagnosing why half his pc's weren't going to sleep. He eventually figured out that it was because half the pc's had steam running but on a store page, which means a video is playing.
Meanwhile, on Linux: #KDE plasma just has an easy built-into-the-ui indicator that tells you what is blocking sleep .... I have used this feature many times and I love it.
So yeah, I don't know who at KDE worked on this feature, but I ❤️ you
