Public bug reported:
My laptop is a 2 in 1 model so I don't know if it's because Linux kernel
still can't fully support this kind of device or some other reason but I
really want to use Ubuntu as my study system because I am a computer
science student and the moment I had the current Ubuntu 16.04(few months
ago) installed I already fell in love with it even it's so buggy on my
device.
I am also running Ubuntu in a dual boot mode but another system was
installed on another hard drive and that system is Windows 10 but
everything works fine over there.
I also tried the latest released distribution Ubuntu 18.04 but there's
even more problems over there, 1) the desktop was rotated abnormally, 2)
the touchpad not working on that either. And I run 18.04 in a live mode
but I don't think this matter.
I have also tried Debian 9, also in live mode. And there are same
question occurred just like when I tried Ubuntu 18.04.
So based on my these two experiments on Ubuntu and Debian, I think it
could be the kernel's compatibility problem with my device that cause
the touchpad not working and no setting. As for the rotate abnormally
problem only happened on Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 9, both of which are
using Gnome as desktop so there might have something to be improved in
Gnome desktop to support my device. And I think it could be a common
issue for 2-in-1 device user, which could be a small percentage of
device that runs Linux so there's fewer issues were reported.
Please, I really want to use this system to help me explore the computer
science world fully. I know it will because I learned a lot during the
process of getting the current Ubuntu installed in my device and in a
dual boot mode. I really think the more I use it, the more I can
understand how this mysterious world works behind the screen.
Thanks in advance. And as a computer science student myself, I would
love to know if there's anything I can do to get the kernel to support
my device even I am just a newbie in this field.
Thanks for reading, cheers.
