Not that I’m aware. I have been trying to fully activate the keyboard, as the machine has a windows key and a function key. The mapping is screwed to the point Alt+F4 lowers volume

I’ve been considering getting one of those for years but how do they fare with playing games.

I’m mostly a casual gamer but some require acting fast.

I’ll try to deactivate the touch pad, via software. But if that was the case, for the start, this behaviour would manifest. It started randomly, after a few weeks of use.

The mouse randomly clicking is noticeable already at the user log in screen, so I’m going to risk creating a new account will retain the strange behaviour.

You did manage to make me think there are two DEs on the machine and, maybe, by some weird event, there is an overlapping conflicting mouse controller.

Booting from a thumb drive is going to be very useful and I thank you for that suggestion. If the latest ISO running live replicates this behaviour, then there is the possibility there is a bug I can report.

Annoying but cute. I’m very careful with making sure the correct dongle is inserted in the computer.

I use a vertical mouse no one else is capable of using and all the other mice in the house are conventional.

There was a time where I regularly made a fool of myself by having more than one mouse connected.

Under the other OS both work fine. And it would be highly disapointing, as the bloody machine is near new.

You know, that possibility would be a lot more entertaining than whatever the real issue might be.

No, thankfully.

I abused debfoster for years… it kept my machines running very, very clean.

I think I got it!

Can you teach me or just point towards a tutorial?

Leaving a thank you for the information of another option. And FOSS.

Having more developers natively release for Linux implies removing influence from Windows and making more people realize it is a viable option for daily computer use.

It’s not just about gaming at this point, it’s about changing an entire paradigm and erode monopolies.

Can you imagine a Linux “monopoly” on personal computers? The dumb discussions about using Arch, Fedora, Debian or Suse? It would only be hot air escaping mouths because under the hood every development on one side is feeding improvement into the entire ecosystem.

Glass is recycleable to infinity. The greatest issue that used to exist was the colourants added to tint the glass. Nowadays, to my knowledge, with enough temperature and chemical correction the tint can be removed. Even windshields can be recycled nowadays; no plastic survives after being put to a kiln thousands of degrees hot.

Plastics can be reused. Even if we start with PEHD, crushed, melt it down, and the end plastic is of lesser quality, the biggest problem is finding a new use for that weaker material.

How about paper, glass and high density plastics?

And if wasn’t for negative propaganda, pyrolotic incineration would deal with the gross majority of non recyclables.

That is pure laziness of whoever is responsible for puting the bags there.

Either there is a support bracket for two separate bags on the underside if that lid or the trash bin originally had two separate buckets that were taken away.

Thumbs up for that reply. Pure gold.

Although always in favour of destruction by fire, I don’t think the original poster would enjoy that.

I’m from the country that makes a lifestyle of hacking a quick fix for anything instead of actually solving an issue, as more often than not a definitive solution for a problem is either too expensive, complex or requires climbing up a bureaucratic ladder for an approval.

Staring me down into shame does not work with me.

Can I humbly sugest to exchange the screws of the fan for a new set and perhaps add a little O-ring to it, to absorb extra vibration?

Because that is a hack (and a fine one, as it seems to fix the issue) but it is not a solution!
