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.

I just tried it on Nobara. Just… application launcher (The start menu icon)->sleep. Waited, and then woke the machine back up and when the machine came back up, the game was still running. No idea if all games will play nice with that, but Satisfactory did.

I’m confused - doesn’t everyone just leave Satisfactory running to increase production??
