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.

Interesting concept. I have a script that uses long term tokens and curl to tell HA to turn on certain things I need before running a certain game, then turns them back off afterward. Presumably this could take the place of that script.
It's an interesting idea, I wonder what other ideas people will have once it's working.
I just wish I could get my script to disable the screensaver in KDE. I have the command that should do it, and it's changing the right setting (ie, changing the same setting manually in the gui works correctly), but it seems like KDE isn't aware of the config change, and the things I've tried to get KDE to reload that config aren't working. No error, but the screen saver stays active.
