From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How exactly is it messed up? what is the touch pad device called? (Laptop model, USB vendor id, whatever you've got) what environments are you using? Are you using X or Wayland?
I'm using X awesome wm and cinnamon. The touchpad isn't disabled when I'm typing. I use a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15iil05, and this is a recent issue.
Cool!
You could try running syndaemon manually in your session, if that works you may need to reconfigure syndaemon somehow.

Thank you! I think I'll end up restarting sometime in the future, but for now this is amazing!
