KDE does have focus stealing prevention, Have you messed with that at all? https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwin/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.html#focus-focusstealing The only thing I can think of is maybe some notification steals the focus and doesnt give it back to the window.

We have a coffee machine that runs on linux.

The firefox reader mode button doesn’t show up for me on that site. I wonder if its just a poor site or if they are intentionally trying to break it.

I’m not sure about others but none of my computers support PXE boot over wifi.
