There is no light on the caps lock key, no software indicator whatsoever that it is down, so if you are on the login screen and trying to type your password, you have to randomly guess that the reason it is failing is that maybe caps lock is on, and hit that and try again.

People keep telling me Linux "just works" now. I bought a System76 laptop with PopOS preinstalled. On the first day of use, third time I wake it from suspend, the lock screen has gone crazy buggy ... there are many instances of it at different levels of slide-upness, covering

half the screen. I am unable to use the laptop without hard-powering it off. GG guys.
(Also, the trackpad and mouse 'buttons' on this laptop are freaking terrible, but, that has not much to do with Linux).

Every time it goes to the lock screen, it clears my xmodmap, and there doesn't appear to be in the UI any way to give it mappings that will stick.

Better but also worse, it turns out there is a software warning, but it is a tiny dim icon that there's no way you would know is a caps lock warning, it's just there. So it doesn't actually help.

Are you using pop_os? The password field in the login screen has an indicator

I just checked, and it does! ... sort of. It's a tiny, dim icon in the field that nobody is going to know what it means, and there is no explanatory text if you hover over it. I just didn't even think about it before, figured it meant "secure login" or something.

I think it is the crap System76 are selling.... where does all this problem come from? I always mostly installed Linux on lenovo computers and the only thing that didn't work on my Legion Y720 was the keyboard backlight, but everything else works.

Dell + Intel + Ubuntu maybe.
Dell + Ryzen + Ubuntu is definitely a no go.
