Linux Mint Cinnamon Lock screen Sleep Fix

On some systems, Linux Mint fails to turn off the screen after the lock screen is activated.

System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts > Add a Custom Shortcut

Name : Lock and turn off the screen
Command : bash -c "cinnamon-screensaver-command -l && sleep 10 && xset dpms force off"

Use your preferred keybinding for the shortcut

Now when you lock the screen, the screen will be automatically turned off after 10 seconds.
