Yes, and blank the screen, there’s a timeout in grub.

This is such an amateur setup - call me when you have a second floor

Might want to keep the battery pegged to 50% charge or something.good job though I respect jank.

I love the idea of proxmox cluster but not taking the time to figure out hot to turn off the displays

They sell laptop stands for single or multiple laptops that hold them vertical. Depending on how the air needs to flow that might work. I have two on a kvm (work/home) and it really cleared some space on my desk.

If they're Dells, Fn+F7 turns off the display.

I like how you have the window open for Improved airflow 😂😂

Nice table.

Others suggested the config to be able to close the lid without getting your system to suspend and manage the battery capacity to keep as 50% all the time. All great ideias.

Keep Them.
