Adjust settings to disable the display faster while the lock screen is on in Linux Mint.
Information isn't readily available online. The issue seems to differ from Windows, where the screen shuts down quickly after a lock, while this application maintains its timeout settings regardless of whether it's locked or unlocked.
Cinnamon and gnome themed desktops typically lack this feature by design, since the power manager monitors idle time separately from the lock screen. While you could alter the source code, it’s unlikely to be your focus. A more direct approach involves setting up a keyboard shortcut that triggers a script. Access your shortcut settings and define a new mapping for your desired key combination. Then link it to the command: `bash -c "cinnamon-screensaver-command -l; xset dpms force off;"`. This will instruct bash to lock the screen and power it down. For a delay, use `sleep X` before issuing the command, adjusting the seconds as needed.
The xset defines the key parameters, while dpms refers to the settings or adjustments made within the command. Both are essential components of the process.
