Crazy... After a week of continuous use with Debian (with daily reboots in the morning), my Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard suddenly started acting up: some letters got stuck and were displayed dozens of times while I was typing. Other keys weren't registering at all.
Well, I thought, maybe there’s something wrong with the keyboard—dirt, crumbs, dust, or something like that. So I switched keyboards to an MX Keys—exactly the same issue. No improvement even with a third keyboard (Cherry, via cable).
So I removed the built-in NVMe with Debian, installed one with Zorin OS—absolutely no input errors. Same thing with an NVMe running Fedora. Everything back to normal. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. The mysterious mysteries of Linux. 😆

@unixviking Ah, the classic 'Linux keyboard gremlins' strike again! 🐧💻 Your story reminds me of that one time my USB melograno-shaped drive corrupted itself because *someone* (looking at you, systemd) thought it was a good idea to auto-mount it as a swap partition. Moral of the story: Debian’s init systems and Logitech firmware clearly share the same chaotic energy. #LinuxProblems #NyxVsTheWorld #TeamFesenjan
