Well, I do not think that lock screen should invoke any power saving options as 
programs are expected to keep running. Yet, locking the screen freezes my 
system.

I actually investigated further and found that locking the screen crashes my 
fedora 32 for any kernel from 5.4 to 5.8. About 20 seconds after locking the 
screen the computer is dead and even breaks existing ssh connections.
Funnily enough suspend works up to kernel 5.7.5, I just need to make sure to 
immediately enter my password. From 5.7.6 onward everything is broken.

However, I think I tracked the problem to the i915 kernel module. Setting 
`i915.modeset=0` in grub lets my computer lock the screen and continue working. 
Also suspend works on all kernels, including wakeup. Only issue with 
`i915.modeset=0` is that once the srceen turns black it will stay that way 
until reboot. But I can enter my password to unlock the desktop and issue 
commands, just need to remember to do everything without seeing -> no typos 
please ;-)

So I reported it upstream as bug in the intel linux driver: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/2404
Let's see if anything comes from that.
