  1. I can't comment, but I think this can qualify as an answer. I'm almost 100% sure that the BIOS controls this function, and not the operating system. You can look in your BIOS settings, but it's doubtful there will be something to disable this.

  2. You can try edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf. Set the option to ignore the lid switch instead of suspend.

    HandleLidSwitch=ignore

    loose the # sign. Then restart.
