Hello! You may be interested in Hyprfreeze if you game in Hyprland. It’s a small script that lets you suspend games just like gaming consoles do.

I always find it annoying when I’m playing and I quickly need to leave my desk or talk to someone, only to die to some random enemy in Elden Ring or to miss (unpausable) cutscenes of a game.

I’ve built this script to prevent that from happening and over time it’s reached a point where I find it robust enough and want to share it with others. Any feedback is always appreciated.

    Elden Ring does allow you to pause. You just have to open the menu explanations. But your point is still valid.
