I just installed windows 11 in 15 mins on a 5 year old laptop for donation. The one with Linux had an unusable trackpad with no sensitivity setting, and some sort of flat pack installer system that I gave up on mostly because of the trackpad not allowing me to scroll more than a page and a half at a time. U until was easier 15 years ago.

Good for you. You can use whatever you want. Linux works for me.

Have you tried a fresh install on the laptop with Linux. May help at times
