Is it possible to suspend games on PC like the Steam Deck? (feddit.org)

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 don't know exactly how they do it - but I believe it's related to gamescope. I'm pretty sure it just dumps the ram and enters sleep mode.
