Fedora 38
11th gen
I saw there was an old post regarding the same issue but on ubuntu. I’m looking to disable the touchpad in fedora.
I know there’s a setting in Gnome Tweaks that has this exact setting but in the past when I installed it messed with the screen resolution. Is there any other way?
Maybe the touchpad uses the libinput that has the feature of the disable-while-typing.
The ArchWiki page says libinput-config is an alternative on Wayland.
Here is a Fedora document for using libinput for X window-based window managers.

junaruga provided one general direction you could go. There is no reason why it should have messed with resolution…unless you were using Xorg, then I could see something getting messed up. Was this with Wayland (default)?
I installed Gnome tweaks again and it seems to be working ok so far. Thanks for the tips!
Yay! Delighted Gnome Tweaks came to the rescue here!
The Gnome Tweak option didn’t do anything for me in fedora. I found this, and it works well for my use case. I’m on fw16
