Some weeks ago, I discovered that certain keys on my laptop keyboard didn’t work.
This problem is consistent from unlocking LUKS volume, through to tty and desktop session.
Some keys only work some of the time, while others have stopped working altogether. They’re part of all kinds of key groups: Function keys, numpad, alphanumerics…
connecting a secondary, external keyboard, works as it should, so I’ve been barely getting by but it’s very inconvenient.
I run Fedora Kinoite 36, on a Clevo P950ER laptop.

Will add more info here after I’ve tried live-booting debian and seeing if the problem persists
