How to disable on-screen keyboard when using touchscreen monitor on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 20.04

Connected my PC to a Touch screen-based monitor and looking for a solution to disable the on-screen keyboard which pops up when I touch the screen on the terminal.

Attaching the image for reference. I use both Ubuntu 20.04 and Debain 12. I am looking for disabling it on both OS.

Thank for the help.

    If you are using the GNOME desktop environment, you can try this:

    1. Open the terminal
    2. Edit the GSettings configuration for the on-screen keyboard by running this command:
     gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false
    1. Restart your GNOME shell by restarting your system.

    The on-screen keyboard should be disabled after the restart.

    I had the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 and tried disabling the on-screen keyboard through the "Universal Access" settings and gsettings. In the end, the only thing which worked was to install the "Block Caribou" GNOME extension, even though I don’t have Caribou installed (so perhaps the extension should be renamed). This seems to be a very old bug which has frustrated many people over the years, as documented here, here, here, here, and here.
