Disable touchpad in Linux Mint (or any similar distribution) permanently

I tried various approaches like the tools dconf-editor and touchpad-indicator but despite of trying various settings it keeps torturing me (followed the guidelines here: https://vitux.com/how-to-automatically-disable-touchpad-when-mouse-is-connected-to-your-ubuntu-system/ ). Is there any way in Linux Mint/Ubuntu to force
