Hi, are you using xorg or wayland, and does touchpad issue happens with wayland?

#

echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"

#

yes

#

i need to get info about hardware interupt grep enabled /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/*

#

everything here looks fine

#

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad-libinput.conf

#

this will get info about xorg touchpad configuration

#

can you check what is in xorg.conf.d

#

ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

#

Shit.

#

Give me a sec.

#

try ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

#

cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

#

no problem

#

install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package on your system this should fix the issue.

#

is it working?

Cinnamon has experimental wayland support, but that version probably isn't available in the Mint repos, but you could investigate. I just suggested a live usb as a quick method to see if modern kernel / DE / mesa etc might cure both your problems.

#

If it does cure, then you could either switch distro (if that's an option for you), or look at getting a newer kernel for LMDE, and maybe switching to another DE on it.

According to a quick search, you'd need to apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 - but don't just randomly copy/paste that, check it out first.

#

Do you have an nvidia dGPU in that laptop aswell as the iGPU in the CPU?

Personally, I've been running this install of Fedora on my laptop for over 3 years, and never had an issue. It's rock solid, up to date, and KDE is perfect for me. The Gnome spin is also good, but the more niche spins will give you less reliable experiences on wayland.

And kde just a spin.

Gnome is Workstation, but the KDE was promoted to an Edition recently, so will be equal in standing to the Gnome one.
