I have an HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-bq1xx and I've installed Ubuntu 18.04 and keep it updated.

I have the following problems:

The touchscreen doesn't work

What I've found: touchscreen-on-hp-envy-x360-is-not-working-with-18-04

Question 1:I'm a web developer and I sincerly have no idea of how to patch a kernel... Can anyone provide me some help on how to do this?

The computer freeze randomly

What I've found: hp-envy-x360-ryzen-5-status-of-known-issues

Question 2: I've followed the answer of @brauliobo but when I run Homestead for my development environment and the computer goes in standby, it freeze again... I have to force the shut down by pressing the power button. It may be some wrong BIOS configuration? or I have to configure in another way the VirtualBox VM's I run for development?

The touchpad sometimes doesn't work

I've found nothing about this problem.... Googled a few... but the results I've found don't talk about HP computers...

Question 3: Sometimes when I log in, the touchpad doesn't respond... The coursor doesn't move and both left and right click aren't working.

Thanks in advance!

I can confirm all issues above in 18.10 using 4.18.0-10-generic, amd_gpu and mesa 18.2.2.

When I have a soft lockup instead of hitting the power button I press and hold

    ALT + Print Screen and R, then, S, then, E, then, I, then, N, then, U, then, B.

That reboots the OS a little more gracefully then the power button and should avoid a fsck if something is still writing, as with these lockups I notice that sometimes the hard drive light still going.

Otherwise I'm just going to wait until 19.04, when hopefully the remainder of the bugs are resolved, or use uuku to upgrade the kernel if I ever get around to it.
