Just curious, you don't need to answer: why? Why not just power it off |

or lock it? |

What desktop environment are you using? OpenRC or systemd? Lastly, do |
| 15 |
you have support for suspending to RAM compiled into the kernel? |

If you are using a desktop environment, it should have the suspend |
| 18 |
functionality built into it. If you are using systemd, it should be as |
| 19 |
simple as a `systemctl suspend`. |
