https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/ issues/18 Currently there seems to be no (graphical) way to disable auto-suspend system wide. Which means the system will auto-suspend regardless of your settings when you perform user switching. It's somewhat unintuitive that suspend, as a system-wide action, is considered a per-user setting (the active user overrides all inactive users), and there's no option to set it system-wide.
Here's even a "funnier" case. The system suspends when you connect over SSH (the system shows a GDM screen locally), even if you're active (running commands). And you can't do anything about it, because it ignores your settings and uses the system default (20 minutes timeout).
So, if you sometimes start your system remotely and ssh in, or if you have graphical issues and need to debug it over ssh, or in any other case that you can imagine when you need to ssh in... your system *will* suspend in 20 minutes. I think advanced users will eat us alive.
What's even worse, there's no obvious way to disable this even for those advanced users. There's no config file in /etc you could edit and adjust. "sudo gsettings" (for setting the right key globally) fails with an error. How do GNOME devs expect users to configure this? What do we tell them? Or is ssh a no longer supported use case on Workstation?
