Indeed. However it’s necessary to use that command on both the main PID and all its child processes, otherwise you will run into issues like the game video stopping but the game logic still running in the background.
This is just a tool to automate finding the pid (via hyprctl or other ways) and correctly suspending it.
There is Nyrna, but it doesn’t work on Wayland.
Afaik saving to swap isn’t possible as it’s something managed by the kernel, although you can try tweaking cgroups. Nyrna also mentions that this isn’t currently possible.
I’m not familiar with qtile, but I’m fairly sure there’s currently no way to get information about the active window on mutter unfortunately.
Thing with wayland is, each compositor has to implement things their own way, so you’re limited to what your compositor allows you to do.
For instance, you can get window information in sway with swaymsg. On other compositors you may have to find workarounds.
No, it uses hyprctl to get the pid of the current active window. Which compositor are you using? It might be possible to get the pid in a different way.
Haha, yes! Ctrl+Z sends a TSPT signal to a terminal process, while this script sends a STOP signal to every process in a game’s process tree. Both get resumed with a SIGCONT so they’re kinda similar.
The default layout is what feels comfortable to me and I chose starfish because I used to use starship with zsh, so I went with something I was familiar with and didn’t think too much about it.
I didn’t even know about tide until now but after a quick look I can’t find any groundbreaking differences in the layouts compared to starfish.
It really is just Arch with a different init system. There are no noticeable major differences. The faster bootup times are probably negligible.
Of course I like the idea of minimalism and the unix philosophy, but the reason I chose Artix isn’t so philosophic. I was already using Arch on my laptop and wanted to install it on my desktop, but I enjoy trying to do harder things and learning in the process, so I ended up learning how to use a different init system… and I also did it because I liked the Artix logo better lol.
I’m very happy with both Artix and Arch and while I wish systemd wasn’t almost a monopoly, at the end of the day everyone is free to use what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt the linux ecosystem for others.
Wow, I wish I knew this workaround during my early gameplay lol.
