How to use the laptop with lid closed (Linux) (alien.top)

I’m trying to use my FW13AMD with Fedora Linux in docked mode, i.e. lid closed, external monitor, keyboard and mouse etc. but every time I close the lid it immediately sleeps, and I’m unable to wake it with the keyboard or mouse. I’ve seen posts about this working under windows, so am I missing something? There didn’t seem to be any relevant settings in Gnome Settings

I had the same issue with Fedora 39. After upgrading, I noticed the option to not suspend with lid closed missing in Tweaks. I did a good search and someone suggested editing a config file. I got it to work but I didn’t document it.

If I find it, I’ll update, but I suggest you googling it like I did. Or someone here may have already posted the right file to edit.

I found this annoying, and not sure if the missing setting is intentional or not.
