Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don’t even have flatpak installed. Others say it’s Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?

I know it’s for security but it’s too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.

All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!

    why is Xwayland not just automatically shunting the actual directive to set the permission over to xdg-desktop-portal, which you say can correctly handle this, on kde.

    It is doing that. It just doesn’t give the portal any information at all - neither that the request is coming from Xwayland, nor what X11 app is trying to emulate input.

    Like I said, the feature has been really poorly thought out.

    How can it be the case that XWayland can grant you an app temporary permission, but not permanent?

    It keeps the handle around until the X11 app’s process exits, then it’s gone. It’s how all on-demand permissions work, unless you do special stuff to restore it later without user interaction.

    that or Bazzite is doing some kind of special something that others are not.

    Yes, they patch permission prompts out entirely. They do that on their KDE edition too.
