Figured it out. I created a service in the /etc/systemd/user folder for this, when I should have used a User service and put it in ~/.config/systemd/user folder.

Here is my command to make this work from start to finish from a regular command prompt in Ubuntu 20.04. Copy and paste the whole thing (everything between the "----" marks) in one go - it will install Keep.Awake in a folder in the Home folder, create other needed folders, create a .service file, create a script file (easier to find and tweak) and install the service file to run at startup :

Yes that makes sense since I designed this to work under a user, with a desktop, in user-space.

Good stuff you got it working with systemD!
