org.freedesktop.PowerManagement is definitely working in Plasma. org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement is technically the native interface for this, goes to the same binary as org.freedesktop.PowerManagement, and considering the freedesktop interface is deprecated it may be a wise choice to use this name instead. So this is probably the "best" way to inhibit on Plasma specifically. org.freedesktop.login1 should technically work and for all intents and purposes is the most Linux-wide way of inhibiting right now. FWIW, I would always call login1. In fact, I would always call everything, worst case you inhibit on multiple fronts, but given 1 inhibition is equal to N inhibitions it makes no difference. Trying to figure out which of the 5 gazillion interfaces to call is nothing but a source of tears. HS
