Right-click not working and left-click closing apps on Debian (Help needed)

Hi everyone,

​I’m currently running Debian and I’m having a weird issue with my mouse/touchpad buttons.

​Basically, my right-click isn't working at all, and my left-click is acting like a "close" button (it closes whatever app I click on instead of selecting it). I've tried using xinput to remap the buttons, but I’m struggling to get the configuration back to normal or to get the right-click working properly.

​Has anyone dealt with this before? Any ideas on what config file or command I should check to reset my mouse buttons and fix the right-click?

​Thanks!

Best Linux distro for old HP laptop? (Gamingfocus

Hi everyone,

​I am looking for a very lightweight and fast Linux distribution for my older laptop. I want to remove Windows completely for a fresh, speedy start. My main goal is to play older games smoothly.

​My Laptop Specs:

​CPU: Intel Core i7-4800MQ (2.70GHz)

​GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (Needs legacy drivers)

​RAM: 12GB DDR3

​Goal: Maximum speed and performance for old hardware.

​What I am looking for:

​Which "light" Linux distro is the fastest for older laptops while still being good for gaming?

​Since I have an older NVIDIA Quadro card, which system makes it easiest to install the correct legacy drivers?

​I want something that doesn't use a lot of RAM or CPU in the background so my games run better.
