From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

how to disable wake from sleep for the mouse (lemmy.ml)

It is incredibly annoying to me that my mouse wakes the computer when I barely touch it. If I want my PC to turn on, I press the Super key.

I find very hacky scripts online, I tried some but they didn't work. How did you disable it?

This option is missing from settings.

Maybe a setting in the BIOS? It will most probably not have a setting for the Mouse but USB

Yeah this is a hardware thing. If there's no bios setting you might just be able to switch your mouse to a different usb port, most motherboards can only wake from 2 of them

As dar as I remember there is no setting for it in the bios, but I'll check
