Figures they don't know how to keep their laptops awake while the lid is closed lmao
This is the first setting I changed on every laptop I ever owned. So often I had stuff running in the background and didn't want it to sleep. Plus, windows had that stupid fucking sleep bug, so usually I'd use hibernate anyways.
I disabled sleep-on-close for my server laptop (I use NixOS btw), although I do prefer to keep it on for my personal laptop.
