Macbooks have a pretty standard touchpads, "force touch" aside. It's just a matter of proper software and configuration. Of course gesture support in software isn't comparable in any way, but my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro touchpad on GNU/Linux generally feels better than Macbook's ones or Magic Trackpad 2 on macOS.
Also, I've got some non-jailbroken iPhone for development and I have no issues with installing ipa's on it from GNU/Linux. I didn't need more though, so haven't tested anything else, but working app installer makes me think that other simpler things should work too :P
- scarface74 8y agoSo besides force touch and software support there is no difference.... Isn’t that kind of big deal?
- seba_dos1 8y agoForce touch? Hardly, it's a gimmick. The only "big deal" out of it is silent clicking, which is why I own Magic Trackpad 2, but not everyone will care about that. Software support - well, yes, but it's within the application makers and power users reach to fix it. There's a common myth that "Apple touchpads work on magic", while in fact neither hardware nor the driver is so special. It's just the apps.
