CAnything I've run from 15 to 20 years ago hijacks the whole compositor to hilarious effect
CIt's more due to how exclusive fullscreen works there
Econsidering how unfamiliar suspend is to me, does whatever is being run at the moment affect how much power is drawn during suspend?
ie. running something heavy like any AAA game vs small indie game at the time of suspension

CGood question, I don't believe it makes a difference since it's not running the game loop in suspend
CJust keeping the RAM powered
Ehmmm, theoretically it shouldnt have any effect then
AI use the pause games decky plugin as an extra precaution
AIt freezes the game process before suspend, unfreezes it on resume
CThere's no secret sauce in SteamOS suspend by the way, it's just normal Linux suspend
Ei'll check it out too
CAll the optimization they did is in the hardware itself
CSo it does it quick
Elinux is still black magic to me
Eso it's pretty much all secret sauce
AI think someone previously asked about how Bazzite has SteamOS suspend.
The answer was that Bazzite did nothing, it's just regular suspend lol

CHappens often
CI've seen it 4 or 5 times already
AThough technically there was a tiny bit of work to hook up the power button to the steamOS suspend
Edoes anyone have a rough estimate on how much battery is drained per.... 24h of suspend?
CHardware dependent, easier to test yourself
Eprobably wont be 100%
Ei hope
AYeah, some hardware is really bad with power drain in suspend
CYou can always turn it off
AAyaneo is guilty, if I'm remembering right
Ebecause i sometimes get busy with work and dont touch my ally for a few days
CI remember reading something about a quick resume-type feature on Linux
Eand i assume letting the battery drain completely is very VERY bad
CJust turn it off if you don't think you'll use it for a while
AIf only s3 sleep was still around 
Ehmm that's fair
Ebazzite does boot decently fast
Aayaneo is broken
Aally is bad
Aalthough, we could mess with the power saving setting and just havent yet
Awhich halves battery consumption
CHic svnt leones
CThat Pause Games Decky plugin seems to want to integrate it in the future
APause games decky plugin is unmaintained, unfortunately
CWelp
AI hope someone picks it up, it still works and I use it all the time
CUnironically would be killer to have a dump game state to disk feature
Eis there a way to turn off the screen while steam downloads stuff?
ANope, unfortunately not.
CMight be necessary for Valve to be on top of that though
CJust have good internet :clueless:
COr dock your handheld
Jin desktop mode the screen will dim from inactivity and continue downloads
Athe nintedo switch supports downloading games while it is suspended
