You've probably read that others have had success with the 4.19 kernel. Unfortunately (k)ubuntu 18.10 is on 4.18 but 4.19 can be obtained through a ppa.
Can you let me know how you get on as I'm thinking about pressing the button on this laptop.
Any other issues or what's good bad would be appreciated.
I'm using Kubuntu LTS which is on 4.15. I don't think I'm going to start messing around with kernel patches or updates as I need this machine for work and don't really want to waste a day fixing it if I break something.
Just going to have to remember to bring my mouse with me for now I think
