Keeping deck awake when in desktop mode?

[(/ º _ º) / _|__|_]

I've noticed that the wifi goes off when the devices goes to sleep. When downloading something in steam itself, the system stays awake, but if I ever flip over to desktop mode, it will go to sleep even when there is network traffic.

Searching the forums, it seems like being able to download while the device is asleep/low power is a popular request, but I'd even settle for a simple setting here to just keep it awake when in desktop mode and plugged into a power supply.

I've tried messing with the power saving settings in the desktop and turned off all the sleep features, but the deck still goes to sleep... Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks!

If you click on the battery icon in the taskbar there should be a “disable automated dimming/sleep” box that you can check or uncheck. Not at home to look. 🤔

"System Settings" -> "Power Management" -> "On AC Power"

Untick "Suspend session"

Thanks!

FWIW, I had previously tried what psymin suggested but it didn't work; however, after a reboot, now it does... I'm going to chalk up my previous issue to a random linux bug. Guess I should have just tried turning it off and on again =p

Thanks again for the help!

Abbyzero got it right, hitting battery icon then unchecking the top box fixed my issue, was trying to download a game in desktop mode from chrome and had to keep waking the screen for like an hour
