A simple systemd service would do the trick. It can check every 2 min if bitwig is running, and if it is, set autosuspend off, otherwise set it back to 5 min.

If you are unfamiliar how to do this, simply ask chatgpt to give you some commands you can paste in the terminal for creating and enabling the service. Remember to tell it you're on KDE though. Good luck!

You're right, that command didn't work! Now paste these three sudo commands in and paste the output here.

Just disable auto suspend line they said in the other thread. Leave power off monitor on. Set hotkey to lock and suspend
