Ok, wow. I just found out that the touchpad manufacturer in my laptop is a Precision brand. I was going to put the original hard drive in to check, but I didn't have to after I read this article:

My Lenovo (manufactured last December) is Windows 11. So it seems that Microsoft is forcing ALL PC makers to use their Precision touchpads if they are going to use Windows 11. How authoritarian and Mac-like... and a headache for us Linux laptop users.
Given this newly-found information, I guess the next logical thing to ask is if there's a way to install a Precision touchpad driver using terminal? Remember, I'm new to Linux, so I might new someone to get me the sudo code. I'll try Googling it, but I might need someone here to provide that command prompt, if one exists, that is.
