And another question for my #linux and #linuxmint bubble: On the MacBook Pro 2017 I get spurious mouse clicks when typing on the keyboard. In the system settings the "disable touchpad while typing" option is already checked, but it's obviously not working correctly. Any ideas what else I could check or enable?
As usual, web search delivers tons of garbage AI results. It's amazing how many AI generated Linux blogs have popped up.
@root42 - PSA: check that the main battery under the trackpad isn't bulging. It will press up from underneath. If so, remove battery asap!
@axel_hartmann Case looks fine so far. A P5 driver is ordered, as I wanted to open the machine anyway. macOS reported that the battery health was fine. Battery lasts for about 4-5 hours in Linux.
@root42 @axel_hartmann - I usually configure to use tap instead of click, so I didn't notice that the battery had bulged so much that the trackpad couldn't un-click anymore.
@axel_hartmann hm, don’t they use the taptic engine?
