Anything I
've run from 15 to 20 years ago hijacks the whole compositor to hilarious effect
C

It
's more due to how exclusive fullscreen works there

considering 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
C

Good question
, I don
't believe it makes a difference since it
's not running the game loop in suspend
C

Just keeping the RAM powered

I use the pause games decky plugin as an extra precaution

It freezes the game process before suspend
, unfreezes it on resume

There
's no secret sauce in SteamOS suspend by the way
, it
's just normal Linux suspend

i
'll check it out too

All the optimization they did is in the hardware itself
C

7/20/24, 3:06 PM
So it does it quick

E

7/20/24, 3:06 PM
so it
's pretty much all secret sauce

I think someone previously asked about how Bazzite has SteamOS suspend
.
The answer was that Bazzite did nothing
, it
's just regular suspend lol

Happens often

Though technically there was a tiny bit of work to hook up the power button to the steamOS suspend

does anyone have a rough estimate on how much battery is drained per
.
.
.
. 24h of suspend
?
C

7/20/24, 3:07 PM
Hardware dependent
, easier to test yourself
E
EsauFtgz
•
7/20/24, 3:08 PM
probably wont be 100
%

7/20/24, 3:08 PM
i hope
A

7/20/24, 3:08 PM
Yeah
, some hardware is really bad with power drain in suspend
C

7/20/24, 3:08 PM
You can always turn it off
A

Ayaneo is guilty

I remember reading something about a quick resume
-type feature on Linux
E
EsauFtgz
•
7/20/24, 3:08 PM
and i assume letting the battery drain completely is very VERY bad
C
Crono
•
7/20/24, 3:09 PM
Just turn it off if you don
't think you
'll use it for a while
A

If only s3 sleep was still around

Unironically would be killer to have a dump game state to disk feature
