I screwed up so bad. I bought a laptop to trial different Linux distros and also because my old one is 12yo now and has its own problems. However, the manufacturer ONLY provides Windows support drivers, so the keyboard won’t work without a kernel level patch and I am not a kernel-patch level guy yet
Right? It’s some firmware level issue, but I haven’t looked deeper into it recently because I got frustrated with a couple failed patch attempts. I guess you have to include the laptop model explicitly or it doesn’t know to look for it

wtf how does a laptop need drivers to use the keyboard? i thought they just used usb/ps2, that is truly fucked

Which laptop? We gotta know who to light up the pitch forks for.
