Whenever I start a game on my KDE desktop, the notifications get muted automatically. I have no idea why, because I really don’t remember setting it up. Maybe it’s a standard feature that was added at some point. It’s honestly pretty great though.
I see you stopped playing because your game crashed.
You got 76 notifications in the 20 hours you were playing. Take a shower, drink some water, and get some sleep you slacker.
I’m not sure why people enable any notifications on their desktop in the first place.

I think it’s a default. It also tells me how many notifications I missed after closing the game.
KDE turns on do not disturb mode when a program is in full screen mode by default.
You can test this by binding DnD to a button (preferable Meta key + unused letter like F), opening a program in full screen mode and toggling DnD.
This feature can be disabled in settings.
Is meta the official term for that key? I always called it the super key. Just curious
Only KDE calls it “meta”. Everywhere else it’s either “super” or “mod4”. The left Alt is sometimes called “meta” or “mod1”.
It’s not just kde, for example the backronym for Emacs is “esc meta alt ctrl shift”
the discussion you entered was not about whether “meta” exists as a key, but rather, which key is “meta”.
No, I was specifically responding to “only KDE calls it meta.”
To be notified of things that they want to know about.
And even notifications they don’t want to know about for free!
GNOME lets you block notifications on a per application basis.
