Description

I recently setup a laptop with Arch Linux, and found the desire to be able to close the lid of the laptop without suspending the laptop.

Edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and make sure you have
```
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
```

Which will make it ignore the lid being closed.

To immediately apply these changes without needing to log out and and log back in, open a terminal and run:
