Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don’t even have flatpak installed. Others say it’s Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?

I know it’s for security but it’s too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.

All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!

    Please actually do test hyprland and post it, if you can.

    I am frankly baffled that such a common issue has been going on for years now and no one has seemingly 100% fixed it… yet every distro targeted at a steam deck or other handheld, which doesn’t have a kb+m unless you also have a dock and a kb+m, seems to have gone with wayland, and are just pretending this doesn’t functionally cripple your handheld in desktop mode.

    Its somehow worse than stickykeys prompt in windows alt tabbing your game: this will lock up your entire control scheme, and seemingly can’t actually be permanently fixed or turned off.

    My suspicion is that the initial pop up still happens in gnome, but in kde, when you click the grant access prompt… it doesn’t actually permanently give the permission; some amount of time or sets of sequences of events will reset the granted access and then lock you out and re-prompt you.

      It about time to switch things up. I dont know when I’ll get around to it. First I have to do some research to see if it is compatible to install alongside my current setup. I will defiantly let you know when I do though.
