I've got a weird annoyance on one of my #Linux laptops, and maybe someone knows something I don't... (details continue in self replies)
When I shut the lid, the laptop goes to sleep. Sometimes, when I open it, and it wakes up, the keyboard doesn't work at all. I can fix this by closing the lid, letting it sleep again, and then opening it. Usually that works on the first reopen, occasionally it takes 2 or 3, and on very rare occasion, I have to force restart or ssh in and reboot.

The intermittent nature, and that it started after a while, makes me wonder if the lid switch is wearing out, and getting too bouncy -- making the system think that when you open the lid you are actually open/close/open/close/opening the lid (or the other direction, or both). This would dramatically increase the chances of a race of some kind.

@Retreival9096 I should be able to test that theory with a magnet, and just trigger it a bunch. If that's the case, it shouldn't be difficult to find a replacement

Hope it works, or the fix is otherwise easy
