It can’t dump a save state to disk? I guess that would be difficult on a normal OS.
Comment on Steam Deck gets a Battery Charge Limit control in the latest Beta

That’s basically what hibernate is. Shouldn’t be hard to offer as an option.
The difficult bit is having it wake from sleep to hibernate itself. I suspect that would require hardware.

Almost no modern device does a traditional S1-3 sleep. They all do S0 standby/modern standby in windows 8+ parlance. The system is on the entire time. So “waking up” to go to hibernate is basically the same as doing it from a normal on state.

Hibernate would be great as it’s a slightly longer restore, but should work the same (if you are willing g to sacrifice the disk space)
Being able to pick up the deck and know it will have battery left would be really nice. It drains pretty fast in sleep mode.
