Hello.
How do I tell mac OS Big Sur v11.6.4 to never sleep when using in a 2020 Intel MBP? I only want to set this as a test since I'm trying to figure
out why this MBP crashes when waking up after sleeping once in a while.
So far on power AC connection, it never crashes with sleep disabled.
macOS Big Sur v11.6.(3&4) doesn't have an option to do that. I only can disable its power nap and display sleep.
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver called "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off". Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the display sleeps.
If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after" setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you
have a screen saver enabled too.
Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:

My best advice is that you simply update to Monterey 12.2.1
Works like a dream!
It's a BIG change. Set it in motion just before you go to bed and it
will be up and running once you awake!

Display sleep is OK, but I was talking about system's sleep. This one I don't want to sleep at all.

Yes, but that's only needed if you need to create triggers for processes

When was it "buggy"? During the beta, sure. Otherwise? No, it's been
rock solid for tens of millions if not hundreds or millions of users.
I'm currently on 12.3 beta, and it is also rock solid.
Is it perfect? Of course not, nothing is. Does it crash, corrupt data,
brick computers, or fail to work? No, it does not do any of these
things.
Maybe you should stop listening to idiot trolls?

But https://i.imgur.com/1LmSzMK.png doesn't show an option to make
system not sleep. It only has power nap and display off options. Also,
macOS Big Sur doesn't have Energy Saver. I think it is called Battery.

Hello.
How do I tell mac OS Big Sur v11.6.4 to never sleep when using
in a 2020 Intel MBP? I only want to set this as a test since I'm
trying to figure out why this MBP crashes when waking up after
sleeping once in a while. So far on power AC connection, it
never crashes with sleep disabled. macOS Big Sur v11.6.(3&4)
doesn't have an option to do that. I only can disable its power
nap and display sleep.
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver
called "Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the
display is off". Enabling that option will cause the computer to
stay awake even when the display sleeps.
Display sleep is OK, but I was talking about system's sleep. This
one I don't want to sleep at all.
Then you should be good to go.
But https://i.imgur.com/1LmSzMK.png doesn't show an option to make
system not sleep.

Really? It's still in macOS 12.3, though I can't say I've ever used it.

Exactly HOW did you try it?
Did you read the man page?

If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after"
setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you
have a screen saver enabled too.
Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used >> >> > Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes >> >> > are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12>
Interesting. I'd not happened across this before.
Do you also recommend THIS facility?
https://github.com/x74353/Amphetamine-Enhancer
Thanks.
Ooh. Interesting that Enhancer is from GitHub (not Apple's app store), >> > but it requires the original Amphetamine from Apple's App Store. I
wonder why not offer from Github too?
That's explained on the same page under the "Why is a Separate App
Needed?" heading... Try reading it. ; )
I saw that, but why doesn't original Amphetamine have a downloadable version from GitHub instead of App Store?
Because the developer wants it to be available on the App Store. Is
there an actual problem here, or are you just trying to manufacture one
out of thin air?>

Yes, because I'm old school and still prefer to download outside of
stores.
