Power Off Options

Power Off Options is a GNOME Shell extension that adds additional buttons to the Power Off dialog:

• Turn Off Screen — Immediately turn off the monitor/display.
• Hybrid Sleep — Suspend to RAM and also save system state to disk (safe on power loss).
• Suspend Then Hibernate — Suspend the system to RAM and automatically hibernate after a timeout.
• Hibernate — Save system state to disk and power off (slower to resume than suspend).
• Restart user space (Soft Reboot) — Restart the user space without rebooting the entire system.
• Restart To BIOS — Reboot directly into the system BIOS setup.

Requirements

• GNOME Shell;
