Korora Desktop Rollcall
-
My wife had a Zenbook V1 and it started having major issues at 13 months.
The system would not power on. Sometimes it would boot after being off hours, eventually required unplugging the battery, after removing the bottle plate. And even that eventually that stopped working.

Had Korora with KDE on a Lenovo T430, but the mobo died. The only reason why I wanted KDE was to try out MyCroft, but didnt get a chance to get it fully installed before it crooked.
Now, it's Fedora on VirtualBox on my Windows 10 laptop.

Korora with Mate. Great stuff.

I know Gnome has the on screen keyboard. There might be one you can install and call from a shortcut.

I don't know if it's a problem with my crappy hardware or what, but I keep having a problem with my lenovo yoga 2 pro crashing when I set it down for 15+ minutes. I've turned off the "sleep" functionality and set it so that the screen stays on all the time to see if that makes a difference, and it doesn't. Suggestions for another setting to test?

@Dominica I have the same laptop. I had many issues with the wifi dropping connection after 30 sec.
Plugging in a usb> eth adatper allowed me to do an dnf update, which fixed all my issues.
edit: ar eyou uptodate? -

My MBP and someone else with a MBP had horrible issues with sleep.
Now that I have macOS back on my system, I also see that Korora was running hot. So there are definitely issues with MacBooks.
My Dell Inspiron 3000 series has been working perfect. Sleep mode, temperature, everything so far. I jsut need to get off my ass and figure out some on screen keyboard stuff an dalso for it to know I am a tablet and perform appropriate mouse functions with multifinger gestures for when I flip it to tablet mode.

edit: ar eyou uptodate?She was up to date as of like yesterday or so. The wifi has been working as much as Intel chips allow. It's something weird with it freezing after being idle for a bit. Something is kicking off that we've not identified yet.

@scottalanmiller Do you know if you had set the uefi option to Legacy First or left it at 'UEFI only' for install?
You could also try disabling the power saving features in Power Management applet.

My Dell laptop is full UEFI, just as an FYI.

I've not looked. Power features are off, I checked that the other day.

I believe that whoever had the newer MBP also did that but the system still went into sleep mode or something and had to be hard rebooted.
-
@momurda yeah, I've had that issue too, and the USB wifi didn't really help. Stupid laptop. I only have it because it was free.

The newer MBP was mine.
I plan on switching back to OS X, way too many things don't work on the 2015 MBP/Fed 25 combo -
@Dominica Yes i agree. Biggest POS hardware ive ever used. Windows didnt even work right, it would freeze, or it would keep the kb disabled after leaving tablet mode, requiring a reboot to get the kb functioning again.
So far the wifi issue was only issue with this for me on Korora. Ill be using the laptop this weekend at my mom's house so I'll see if there are other issues i run into. -

Once I have time to test itout back on macOS, I may test some more versions. JUst been super busy the last few weeks.

And it gets harder and harder to justify for free, too
