Much to my surprise, I'm running X11 - I thought for sure everything
had been replaced by Wayland.

XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=X-Cinnamon

$ xset q

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

Yes, Stan had some great advice overall that I'll also try.

I have like a hundred different windows open, so I really don't want
to experiment until I have an opportunity to reboot this weekend, but
I'd love any additional ideas you might have.

I also may occasionally have videos running in a browser, or perhaps
paused - could it be something that simple that's causing the
screensaver to work properly?
