VESA Publishes DisplayPort 2.0 Video Standard

This problem didn't exist with vga or dvi so why can't it just work like that and why can't I configure linux to ignore "monitor off" signals?

Linux works fine: I use awesome as window manager and xrandr for setting up monitors, and nothing changes when I unplug HDMI or DP. The problem seems to be with Gnome/KDE/etc.

Supposedly the following command should disable that "feature":

    gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr active false

EDIT: apparently not anymore, but there's another solution: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/6646

EDIT2: per this PR, you should be able to disable it in the configuration panel: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon/pull/1...
