Having a work computer that had Ubuntu pre-loaded I must say that Ubuntu almost hits the mark on being a competitor in user friendliness. There are only a few things that I think needs improvement. For me it's configurability of the mouse (in particular cursor acceleration) and dual screen high-dpi support (which is partly on app developers). Most other things seems to be there when using a laptop with supported hardware. But supporting the hardware has been the main hurdle for a long time so having more alternatives that ships with it would probably solve that one.
- binaryanomaly 10y agoI agree that the out of the box mouse settings are too limited. But if it really bothers you there's still the option to find the right driver and dive into xorg.conf any time. I spent an hour or two to tweek my macbook touchpad but it was totally worth the effort.
- worldsayshi 10y agoYeah, I have that for getting two finger scroll and right click and disabling touch areas. But after the first time I tried to set it up I got a lot of weird behaviour after suspension and such. It took quite a bit of effort and the details were hard to understand. There are a lot of conflicting info in stack overflow threads and such. Like I found out after the first try that there are multiple configuration paths that are merged. Don't remember the details now. It was confusing anyhow.

Yes, disabling cursor acceleration requires some CLI fiddling and adding that to the autorun login scripts. Also rotating the screen is not automatic in tablet mode.
