is there a way to limit screen time within or outside of a certain time period on kubuntu 20.04?

... or instead script some stuff to run with cron

Never really looked at Screen Time Limit Software, however this does exist and claims to be compatible with most Desktop Environments.

I don't know anything about it. I have never used any Screen Time Management Software. You would just have to install it and see if it does what you want it to do.

Does that kind of software block you from switching to a tty prompt? If not you could just do that and kill the process of the application.

Although I personally don't like Gnome 3, it now has parental controls built in. It may be worth checking into and switching to that DE if you need those kinds of features.
