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?

    Huh, unplugging the keyboard. I didn’t think of that. I might just see how easy that is to do later tonight.

      Depending on the model and brand, there’s probably a YouTube video showing how to disassemble it. This can help you find the keyboard connector and how to disconnect it.
