I’m using Fedora Workstation 43 on a Thinkpad P1 Gen 3. The sensitivity of the touchpad appears to be random across reboots. On some boots, everything works as expected. On others, moving the cursor works fine, but the amount of force necessary for a tap-to-click is unusably high. When tap-to-click is insensitive, other gestures like two-finger scroll and pinch-to-zoom also become inconsistent and unpredictable. Every time I reboot or resume from suspend, this changes randomly. Updates haven’t solved this. Is there anything I can do?
The Thinkpad P1 Gen 3 was released a few years ago, have you tried updating the touchpad firmware?

After running fwupdmgr refresh --force, fwupdmgr get-updates says no updates are available. (Ran fwupdmgr update anyway, and no updates were downloaded.)
