Description

Handles power-button events in the background for SteamOS-style systems, allowing the session to react consistently when the physical power button is pressed. It is mainly relevant for handhelds, living-room gaming setups, or custom gamescope sessions.

Power-button daemons can suspend, shut down, or trigger session actions. Use only one component for this role at a time to avoid conflicting responses to the same hardware button.
