I guess trying it out on GNOME/Wayland is the remaining to-do task here.
Its usage should is transparent to the user as it runs as a systemd
service in the background. Also nothing in its design is dependent on
the display server being used - it works at the kernel level. The
default delay is sane in my experience, using it daily for a while now.
Can't vouch for gaming use-cases, but I doubt that's a major usage point
for anonymity distros anyhow.

Is Debian inclusion a hard blocker? We've been maintaining a deb package
for a couple years now that's updated when upstream is.
