Displaying Closed Laptop To External Monitor

Is it possible to use a laptop with the lid closed without the system suspending? I have turned off the automatic suspension in the settings, but when I close my laptop, it stops displaying to the external screen.

I assume gnome has a similar toggle, though wouldn't be surprised if it's only in one of those more-advanced settings menus on bazaar/flathub

The only "fix" I've been able to find is editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf. but it has not worked for me. Just works by default on KDE 🤷‍♂️
