From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The distro you're using and the model of laptop and a link to the bug/commit would make it easier to answer what you can expect.
The TongFang GMxXGxx needs IRQ overriding for the keyboard to work, is also sold as the Eluktronics RP-15 (TongFang GMxXGxx DMI board_name).
commit df0cced74159c79e36ce7971f0bf250673296d93 upstreamI am not using any distro right now because of the keyboard issue, and I do not feel comfortable patching it by myself.
I am actually trying to figure out which distro to try out now that the patch has been incorporated.
