Downloaded Linux Lite 4.4 and ran test to make sure my old Acer Aspire 1 laptop/notebook could handle the os. Looks great, but when I tried typing, I found that half the keyboard spits numbers instead of letters. I determined I could get letters by pressing Fn key before the problem keys, but I want to find out if this bug is fixable before I install on my pc.
My notebook is 64 bit with 1 GB memory and Intel Atom CPU N570 @1.66 GHz x 2. Unfortunately, the bios have never been updated, since Windows 7 never helped me do so, and now all I have is Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3.
This may not truly be a "bug", then, but a failure on the part of a tired old Acer. If so, I may have to resort to buying a new laptop. :-[
