I have a fedora30 desktop that's used infrequently throughout the day.
I'd like it to go to sleep on its own after 15 minutes of inactivity.
How can I do this?

The install was done using defaults, so I'm using GNOME with its
default applications and configuration.

An option to configure this from the command-line would be
appreciated, although I can also use the GUI.

These setting are held in a user's dconf database.  You can manipulate them 
using the
gsettings command.

[egreshko@f30g ~]$ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
idle-dim
sleep-inactive-battery-type
idle-brightness
ambient-enabled
sleep-inactive-ac-type
sleep-inactive-battery-timeout
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
power-button-action

Shows the available options.  Note if you are on AC power you want to use the 
AC optons.
For those the keys you're interested are sleep-inactive-ac-type and 
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout.

To suspend after 15 minutes of inactivity you'd do

 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 900
 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 
suspend

to turn off the feature you'd do

 gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 
nothing
