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.

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 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...
I got distracted today, I am leaving for a trip on Thursday and have a lot coming up as I prepare. I am thinking I will buy the XPS 13. For $20 I can get a hard drive case to pull files off the HDD to the XPS.
I feel more confident in this, moving files over and then I can mess about without...
Just the fact that I have no idea what the issue is, so that leaves me little room to fix it. I appreciate your response because it is upping that chance.
There were no spills, but Mexico is a harsh humid environment.
I am not dual booting, it is just running Mint. I am pretty sure I have a...
I should have been more clear. I meant shopping for a new laptop. The selection in town was not impressive to say the least, just a couple of Lenovo's, so nothing new yet.
I don't have a deep enough understanding to even get what is going on, and I don't know what to do with the link above. I...
I have no idea. I changed the boot sequence and the keyboard is in full crazy mode. I can't do anything. It won't load off the SSD. When I boot live I can't type, touching the keys takes a screen shot.
I took out the SSD and it wont load live. just says jkl;\97 in the top corner of the screen...
