Why doesn’t the steamdeck hibernate by default? (sopuli.xyz)

So many times I forget to plug the deck or someone uses the charging cable for something else and I come back to play the next weekend and the deck is at 0%. Why doesn’t the deck have a deep sleep or hibernate mode on by default like my laptop or iPad?

Linux has typically been buggy when it comes to hibernation. I wouldn't bother, it's not worth the risk in my opinion.

It’s not really a risk- it stays plugged in all the time…except on the rare occasion when it doesn’t. ;-)

I’m surprised there isn’t some kind of fail-safe that starts a graceful shutdown at 10-20% if it’s been in sleep for >x hours. Taking a LiPo to 0% is terrible for the pack; most devices have some sort of fail safe against this kind of battery stress.

There's an option to automatically shutdown when battery drops to X%

Where do I find it? I've gone all through the settings and the developer settings, is it in desktop mode?
