Closing laptop lid causes laptop to suspend (want it do nothing)

OS: Fedora 40 (GNOME)

Hardware: Asus ROG, NVIDIA graphics

Issue:

When I close the laptop lid, I don't want anything to happen. When I open it, the screen should be the same as when I closed it.

Solution:

Edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf so that it contains the following:

LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
