SO...the time/date thing works now, but there is a bigger issue. My laptop was Win10 before my fren wiped it, and installed Linux Mint. I love it, but while I am typing suddenly the page will scroll down for no reason I can see. Sometimes all the previously typed text will disappear, and I have to start over. Am I hopelessly retarded?

If you use an external mouse, you can go into the settings and check "disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in". That could be a solution, I use that a lot.

Why would I use a laptop AND an external mouse? That's really gay.

Does it have a touchpad? Sometimes palm on touchpad counts as a click or scroll when typing. Disable touch pad

My new keyboard without a palm rest does these things you are describing. Stick with Linux, if I can do it, you can do it. Been Linux for my main rig for years now, but I do keep a Win7 machine around for Architectural work and Games. All memes I make, etc, are all produced on a Linux rig. All home theater is run from Linux. Multiple screens in multiple rooms, shitloads of different wired and wireless devices- all work fine. The only dreaded Terminal things I have to do on a regular basis are turning on my vpn and starting a driver for a drawing pad.

All the other posters are wrong. It's the curry niggers at M$ who found out you have Linux installed and they are controlling your machine remotely.

I wonder if it is also them beaming voices into my head?

The down arrow key is trolling you.

I don't eat bread. Cookies? Cake? Absolutely possible. But the roaches would eat those, so..
