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.

Youtube doesn't seem to inhibit idle for me for some reason, so my screen would always turn off with swayidle while watching youtube videos. So I made my lockscreen script (which is called by swayidle)
(lockscreen script was just swaylock called with a bunch of arguments)
Not super crazy compared to some of the things people are saying in the comments, but also definitely not how you're meant to handle idle inhibition when media is playing lol
Hey that's pretty good, I'm gonna steal it. It might even be worth making a pullrequest to update swaylock to have a flag to do this, I use waybar and it has a lock inhibit button that I use before I start watching anything, but automating it like this is seems super nice
