After using the steam deck for several months, I chose to replace Windows with Linux on my laptop. I started with Ubuntu which functioned adequately, though the keyboard would briefly activate in Steam games before stopping. An external wired keyboard also didn’t resolve the issue. Eventually, I tried Linux Mint but still faced the same problem—except the keyboard worked fine elsewhere except during Steam sessions. Someone has an idea about what might be causing this? I’m completely new to Linux and could be overlooking something simple. My machine is an Asus Tuf Gaming F15 FX507ZM. Operating system: Linux Mint 21.1 x86_64 Host: ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX507ZM_FX507ZM 1.0 Kernel: 5.15.0-73-generic Uptime: 1 hour, 13 mins Packages: 2314 (dpkg), 15 (flatpak) Shell: bash 5.1.16 Resolution: 1920x1080 E: Cinnamon 5.6.8 WM: Mutter (Muffin) WM Theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua (Mint-Y) heme: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua [GTK2/3] Icons: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H (20) @ 4.600GHz GPU: Intel Alder Lake-P GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q Memory: 6506MiB / 15620MiB Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Sure, I can help with that. Please let me know which locale you'd like to run in the terminal, and I'll provide the output for you.
