Since both are Debian derivatives, I imagine that both include synclient(1). No, it's not a GUI — but that's better, because you can just put the right command into your login scripts, and you know that it'll execute, and never get deleted because a desktop environment decided to change its config file format.

Magit is awesome.

I have a couple of Windows machines, and I don't feel that they work. Swallowed keystrokes & clicks, ads — no thank you!
- menacingly 9y agoI use synclient at login now, but your paragraph about it alone has a few great reasons why a civilian might be turned off by linux on the desktop.
