Hello,
These two I left don't really fit together. You've an old kernel and very recent hardware (i5-10th gen). The first step would be to upgrade your kernel to a 5.11 version with the Synaptic Manager. You've a fair chance the issue solves itself immediately.
dual boot LMDE4 (mostly) + LM19.3 Cinnamon (sometimes)

this, or you might need ... oh what's it called, the "xorg-synaptics" package (it's an updated touchpad driver)
