Hi

I use the "Strawberry" program to listen to music, I have speakers integrated with the monitor, when the monitor turns off the sound stops working. In the system settings (Plasma6) in power management I have set Turn off the screen after 10 minutes. If I want to listen to music (not using the computer) I have to change these settings to Turn off the screen - never, then go back with the settings.

How can I make the screen not turn off when using "Strawberry", when we are not using the computer, maybe some script.

Check out man xset.
You'll need either for "dpms" to disable power management, or more likely "s" to disable blanking (possibly along with screensaver altogether)

In KDE Plasma, you can using manually "Screen and Sleep blocking" in system tray, under "Energy and Battery"
for this. (this works with X11, and with Wayland)
