Title: Desktop Environment Screen Goes Black when Screen is Static
Tags: debian;drivers;desktop-environment
Question: I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5000 2-in-1 with a i5-1035g1, 8gb ddr4 ram, and integrated graphics. I have only tested Debian distros, but I have tested a number of different desktop environments, but all of them have the same issue. If nothing is happening (no pixels are changing) on my screen it immediately goes black until I move the mouse or do something to make a pixel change (typing, moving mouse, pressing play to a video, etc). This does not happen if a video is playing. Also I would like to add that I installed kali wsl-2 with win-kex and the desktop environment for that does not have this issue.
I have looked at many other posts on similar issues, but haven't found anything to work. I think it might be a driver issue, but I cant seem to figure out what driver I would want, or if there even is an incorrect driver.
If you want more details on my laptop, here is a link to the amazon page for this device. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-5000-Touchscreen-i5-1035G1/dp/B08PTW4QD2/ref=dp_fod_2?pd_rd_i=B08PTW4QD2&amp;psc=1

Comment: It turns completely black less than a second after everything stops moving. My settings are all normal and it shouldn't go black until 4 minutes. Does that clarify it?

Comment: Could you please clarify "*If nothing is happening (no pixels are changing) on my screen it immediately goes black*"? **How many seconds/minutes do you have between leaving your computer untouched and the black screen?** (This duration could be related to **power management**, check [the documentation on gnome.org](https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/power.html.en#saving))

Comment: Yes, thank you for these details. I can't help you more though
