--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
There's a balance here. A 1 minute timeout would be very annoying, and cause
the screen to turn off when for example people are reading text without moving
the mouse. That would risk people being so frustrated by it that they turn off
screen energy saving entirely or set it to a super high value as an
overcompensation.

The current value is what we believe to be a good balance here to avoid
annoying the user into wanting to change it to something that wastes much more
energy.

Highly opinionated users or who care a lot more about their carbon footprint
than the average person does are of course free to set it to a very low value.
