I have Fedora Workstation 36, and I need to disable the keyboard that comes with my laptop.
I’m on Wayland now.
On X11 I used this in myu .bashrc
:
xinput disable "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
But of course it doesn’t work anymore with Wayland.
I found a solution here which uses:
sudo evtest --grab /dev/input/event2
but that requires keeping a terminal around all the time.
Moreover it is dated 2017, maybe there is a better way to do it now

Try to put the command in to the background with the &
on the end
sudo evtest --grab /dev/input/event2 &
and see if you can close the terminal.

Isn’t there a better way than having a background process running all the time?
No configuration option?
For future reference, please see here for a solution using udev that does not require a background process running all the time
