I installed Ubuntu MATE 22.04 on my GPD WIN2. Right at the start, I spotted that weird thing happens when I close the lid. Screen turns off, but then never comes back on, after I open it. I *think* that everything works behind it, because I can hear the sounds, also it's like if there is some backlight, it's clearly somewhat "on" except it doesn't show anything. Then again it's possible that some crash / kernel panic happens in the background, I can't say (as even changing screen to tty or ctr+alt+del doesn't do anything). The only "fix" is to long-press power button. Note, that I don't think this is hardware issue (never had such problem in Windows), but on the other hand it is not MATE-specific, or even Ubuntu-specific. I was able to re-create this on couple LiveUSBs with different distros/DEs (Fedora KDE, Fedora GNOME, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, even Clonezilla in console). What I tried: 1. This somewhat describes my situation, I think, except the solution doesn't work (I tried both commenting those, setting to `ignore` and setting to `lock`, nothing helped) --> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...laptop-lid 2. This also doesn't work (probably because I'm not on GNOME) --> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1422198/...losing-lid 3. Disabling lid on kernel-level seemed promising, but I can't get it to work, as I cannot edit `/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/button/unbind` file --> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...lid-closed
