It has some advanced and cool features such as auto-activating when it detects audio playback, and allowing exceptions to the auto-activation behavior.
I would try to build it myself, but some of the dependencies are not in MX repo.

The build-dep issues are probably because they are for another form of Linux. (Edit: Debian has removed libappindicator3, Ubuntu has not)

Is the caffeine in the Debian repos broken for you?

[shmu26]

No, not broken. Just feature-deprived.

Slackware has caffeine-ng
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0 ... ffeine-ng/
so systemd doesn't seem to be a requirement

A bit older version of caffeine-ng is available on PyPi:

https://pypi.org/project/caffeine-ng/

Can by installed via pipx:

But the application seems to be a nice and small utility, worth adding to the MX repo IMHO.
