It should work without sudo or anything - if you have systemd. Here is a
snippet from my config where I set up a dmenu for the various options of
this kind:
Key([mod, 'control'], 'x', lazy.run_extension(CommandSet(
commands={
'shutdown': 'systemctl poweroff',
'reboot': 'systemctl reboot',
'suspend': 'systemctl suspend',
'hibernate': 'systemctl hibernate', # NOTE: A few things need to
be set up in advance for this to work.
'logout': 'loginctl terminate-session $XDG_SESSION_ID',
'switch user': 'dm-tool switch-to-greeter', # "dm-tool" is
probably part of something other than systemd
'lock': 'loginctl lock-session',
},
dmenu_prompt='session>',
**dmenu_theme # you can just leave this out if you don't have your own
dmenu-theme
)), desc='List options to quit the session.'),
