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.

It doesn’t work for all games. I think Grey Goo was problematic

(I remember doing thid when I had an Nvidia. Someone noted down that Nvidia does have issues. Maybe I should try again with my AMD)

Technically it works, but they are doing something that makes them bug away when resumed. It is not rare that this is related to graphics
