Disable sleep mode - Is this RatOS issue or my touch screen?
My touch screen goes blank after 10 or so minutes and the only way I can wake it back up is to unplug its USB/Power connection. I searched the pi forums and saw people referencing DPMS, but those commands return "unable to open display" so not sure what the actual issue is. I know on my linux servers the console will sleep after inactivity and those have no GDE/GUI installed. Is there some switch in RatOS to disable this or is it possible the hardware on my touch display?

I dont see any options in the touch screen settings
So aside from a different dtoverlay kms default (in /boot/config.txt) RatOS doesn't change anything related to screens, anything you can google related to raspberry pi's and your particular screen is better than any advice i can offer i'm afraid.
Did you try disabling screen blanking with raspi-config (would be the first result on a google search): https://linuxhint.com/disable-screen-blanking-raspberry-pi/
