I want to keep energy saving (12 minutes) but don't like the lock screen with the watch, whenever I come back. This two things unfortunately seem interlinked in Gnome.

Settings

How can I get rid of the watch screen / curtain?

Lots of people are annoyed by this "Screen Shield" or "Curtain" or "Swipe to Unlock" as it is can be called. This Ask Ubuntu question has 33 up-votes: How to remove "phone style" Gnome swipe to unlock

The answer with the most votes states:

Open Ubuntu Software and install the GNOME Shell Extension called:

Disable Screen Shield

This works for Ubuntu 18.04

Source: Disable Screen Shield

enter image description here

Note most users say it works with 18.04, but one commented it doesn't work. It could just be s/he didn't install it correctly.
