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.

Not sure if this is a problem with my hardware, but my Linux (Gateway) laptop can only look around while moving in one specific circumstance: when I keep holding the touchpad and sprint. I use arch btw

Solution: Lower Palm Check™ sensitivity or disable "Disable touchpad while typing", which serves to prevent accidental touching of the touchpad while typing, hence "Palm"

Try a KVM switch, pretty cheap and very worth it
