I'm not sure why people enable any notifications on their desktop in the first place.

    To be notified of things that they want to know about.

    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.

    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"

    I usually like being notified of messages in certain chats. But even with that I'd like to be able to choose which chats are allowed to disturb me no matter what and which ones should make noise but not that damn much!
