...and it crashed my Thinkpad when closing the lid. Suspend works great on the Thinkpad, so thankfully, you can unbind this new (imo dumb) behavior in ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf:

unbind = , switch:on:Lid Switch
unbind = , switch:off:Lid Switch

Then, simply put the HandleLidSwitch setting back in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

sudoedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Look for HandleLidSwitch and change the line to:

HandleLidSwitch=suspend

Logout and voila.... back to normal.
