ArchWiki: Hibernate on low battery level
This approach uses udev, so you don't have to constantly check the battery level by yourself.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A bash script that checks the battery and if its below X runs shutdown -now ?
Then run it every minute with cron.
It's not very elegant but it would work.
Thanks, that would be a valid approach and my last resort.
As you said, I hope someone knows a more elegant solution, though!
It's also not dependant on any DE tool and won't fuck up with any update that resets gnome configs. Trusty cron will prevail.
With proper directory management I wouldn't call it that inelegant tbh.
Answer is here, it was posted the other day: https://lemmy.ml/post/20903038 Instead of beeping as that script does, you shut the PC down.
Thanks, this would indeed solve my problem. Still hoping for a better solution, but if everything else fails I'll utilize it!
