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.

An additional fix that seems important, but not mentioned in the summary:

PowerDevil

  • Check if idle inhibitor is active before blanking the screen. Commit. Fixes bug #482141

That is an important fix. I'm surprised this wasn't found before 6 even released.

It's similar to an issue I have on Plasma 5 where if I am playing a game with a game pad, the screen would go off due to inactivity. It's a known old bug. I wish they would fix it.

Oh here it is. Only 11 years old...
