Salü together!

Does anyone happen to know a trick here how I can prevent Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) from doing so, e.g. If I play via Lutris Final Fantasy XIV that the monitor is sent to standby? Linux apparently recognizes only the mouse and keyboard as an active input device. Unfortunately I did not find this on Google.

A Microsoft Xbox One wireless gamepad is now connected via USB (the dongle does not work under Linux). Before I had an Xbox 360 Wireless Gamepad on, but that's how it was.

I know from KDE that it has a button in the battery settings or the monitor quick settings that has to be deactivated, it is called Presentation Mode. Maybe there's something similar to GNOME as an add-on or something?

So I haven't even got the wireless dongle from the Xbox One controller running under Windows.

Install "xboxdrv", maybe this will help.

Should actually go with caffeine.
