Hello, I’m far from an expert but I had a similar issue on my desktop, running mint and an Nvidia GPU. After looking at a lot of places for an answer one that did work for me was below

Ust/bin/Nvidia_sleep.sh. (off the top of my head it is something like this, can confirm later if you can’t find it.)

At the top put in “exit 0”

See if it works for you. But it seems when I get an update it does at times get overwritten.

Look to be honest I don’t agree with your stance but I respect the fact that you both don’t wish to donate and more importantly receive. I fell some people would be quite happy to take but not give.
