After more reading... I have decided to go with the old actinium of Keep It Simple, Stupid. I have turned off suspend. The screen will still switch off if inactive (wanted this) and for night time and listening to an audio book I wrote a small sleeper auto shut off program for mpv. This seems...

what command should I run? I ran lshw but it showed a lot.... I found out caffine extension works... But I can't halt suspend and allow blank screen. I am wondering if it would be worth just turning off suspend

Yes I tried it.. Nothing it did not change anything.... The link you sent I looked at it most of it is over my head. I would be typing the commands just to try it and see.

is there a way when I certain program is running to prevent suspend from kicking in? But still allow the screen to turn off? Chat GTP suggested this lua script for mpv: -- inhibit_suspend.lua function on_start() os.execute("systemd-inhibit --what=idle:handle-suspend-key:handle-lid-switch...

I should say I did try installing with an other desktop of Cinnamon first. I thought that was the issue so I wiped and reinstalled with the default one gnome. It made no difference.

Yea took me a sec but figured that part out LOL

Thank you. I have herd of it.. I will look into this also for completeness. Thank for responding. I did not think or expect I was going to Go one. So I appropriate that people took the time.

So I wanted to install and use Helix editor on my Debian 12 OS. I have read a few ways to install it: #1 I could install cargo and use that. But I have no intention of using/programming in Rust at all other then using Helix. #2 install using ppa. But I read this is a very bad idea under Debian...

ok thank you

Things were messed up enough I thought screw it re-install. Everything seems to be running a lot better now and the issues are gone. The thing I really like about Linux/Debian is it does not take a full day to install and update an OS unlike when I used Windows. 30 minutes and I was up and...

I'll be honest I had forgotten to install UFW and when ahead and installed a few other things I needed first. Then I remembered and so installed UFW. But after doing so I get: [skip] ordering cycle found, skipping networking.service [skip] ordering cycle found, skipping network-pre.target on...
