Hey folks, thanks for all of your recommendations for distros a while back. I ended up settling on Fedora KDE, and have been futzing around with it on my old laptop just for funsies.
I’ve re-encountered an old problem though. The laptop’s Caps Lock and F1 keys are busted, sending in dozens of keypresses per second even when unpressed. I solved this on windows with a bit of a headache (using a program to disable those keys), but I have no idea how to solve it in this environment. I’ve tried futzing with keyd with little success, and my search powers are really failing me here.
Any advice?
Solved! I had to swing by a hardware store for some screwdrivers and bemoaned a few secret screws keeping the thing from opening, but I located the keyboard ribbon and removed it. All is well! I even gave the fan a little cleaning, which was long overdue eheh. Thanks folks!
