Hello fellow Linux gamers,
Is there a way to pause or suspend games and turn off the PC similar to how the Steam Deck handles it? Or is this functionality exclusive to the Steam Deck?
I’m using Arch btw, but feel free to share solutions for other distros as well.
I came across Nyrna, but it seems to only support X11 and not Wayland, according to the description.
Never had problems with that on laptops, except when I enabled nVidia graphics. So stay away from that.
It’s been a long while since I’ve tried it on a desktop, never felt the need. I don’t even remember if I was on Linux or Windows last time I tried it on a desktop.
So, I guess in general it should work. It’s just a simple suspend to RAM. Should be supported by every distribution out of the box.
Thanks for the hint on nVidia. That might explain my issue
