  • No worries!

    The check box for this settings was infact already checked. So maybe if I change what happens when I close the lid, from sleeping to hibernation or something else this could fix this maybe?

    Ah, I see. Guess you may as well give that a go. I’m guessing what might be going on here is KDE doesn’t count it as a media player for whatever reason. Are you using Jellyfin in a browser or with the dedicated Jellyfin Media Player app?


  • Some quick research on my end seems to suggest there’s a setting for that scenario in advanced power settings called “Pause media players when suspending”, I’d try that before anything else

    Edit: As for why it happens, assuming it woke up from suspension/hibernation, for the most part programs are going to pick up exactly where they left off unless the system goes out of its way to tell them to perform some action (in this case, pausing). Since your lock screen is pretty much “on top” of the entire running system, so to speak, it results in the behavior you’re experiencing.



  • I wouldn’t say unusable but NVIDIA definitely makes things way more painful than they ought to be with their closed source drivers and general stubbornness to support newer technologies under Linux, see Wayland. Mint’s generally older packages also might be working against you.

    In my experience, I’ve had the smoothest experiences with gaming focused/adjacent distros which just include the NVIDIA drivers out of the box, such as Nobara or Bazzite. Those just work for the most part with no user intervention, and you don’t even have to think about it.
