MODERATORS
Kodi does the same, but I believe that is just how game mode works, it only uses inputs to determine if you are active as otherwise any time you had a game or any app open it would never dim the screen.
In desktop mode KDE handles all of that and should figure out if you are watching something or not. It also has the ability to turn the screen completely off while keeping the deck on for those long game downloads - assuming you disable the auto sleep in power options.
