Thanks. I truly appreciate your effort. The synaptics driver caused a jumpy cursor and I would end up typing in the middle of what I had written. I had this issue with my chromebook that I installed linux on. At least I am learning how to navigate these issues and build a better understanding...

I am doing my best to figure it out on my own and I found instruction to do that this morning, but it is unresponsive when I click on it after allow it to execute.

Sorry I meant to include that last night. The Appimage is why I got stuck. Extracted file name. update-ath8124_tributo-82023-12-13-946-RDP2-E1.AppImage

OK, so that was a big smack in the face... I assumed that I was completely voiding warranty dumping windows for Linux, and any official support was out the window. This is the main reason I was looking for a preloaded linux machine in another post. I always search before I come for help, but...

This is a generous and helpful community, it leads me to wonder... Does the lack of responses imply that these are just Linux quirks that I need to learn to get used to?

Anything you would advise to start troubleshooting? Disk scan to see if there is a harware issue. Verifying install to see if something might be corrupt?

I had to revert back to the old kernel and that go my camera back up and running. Still lost on what is hanging and causing the click issue, though.

I did a restart after I installed the new kernel. I only had one short glitch yesterday which is how it has always been. Today was almost 30 minutes. I had a zoom call. I had no mouse click, but I was able to open zoom with the touchscreen. I was able to type in the chat and my audio was...

I updated to the latest kernel last night. I woke it up this morning and it hung for about 5 seconds, but that was the only time so far so hopefully it helps. I love Linux, but I get lost easily with these issues. It is great that it is easy enough for the average user to change over these...

I got a refurbished XPS for around $1000 from Bestbuy. It doesn't solve the fact that I am likely going to have the same worries in 3 to 5 years, but I couldn't warrant the price of the other options. I was getting into the $2500 range, and yes they are upgradeable, but I have pretty basic...

So it's not a driver issue. When I wake my computer up the pad won't have click or scroll, but I can't minimize my browser or open the 'start' menu with touch screen, either. Then my pad clicks as something wakes up and I have full function again. Any ideas? Everything is up to date.

I found a $4 keyboard on Amazon. Replaced it following an online video and everything works perfect, now. Seemed like it could have been possessed, but it was just a hardware failure.

I just wanted to update that I ended up going with a Dell XPS Plus with touchscreen. Really happy with it so far. Good battery life and it's quick. I am having occasional issues with the trackpad losing click and scroll on waking, which is usually fixed with patience or restarting cinnamon...

Good day! I am having trackpad issues. I can move the arrow around, but I have no scroll or click options. I am on a dell XPS plus that is only a few months old. I can often fix it by restarting cinnamon with the alt/F2 r command. This morning it was persistent and I couldn't correct with...

This is currently how I am keeping my sanity. 2 haywire machines at once. No fun, but I got the XPS on order
