- newsbinator 6y agoI wouldn't be qualified, personally, to write better drivers, but I do agree with your message. That said, it's a problem in the larger ecosystem. I'm not sure why Chromebooks and even higher-end Windows machines tend to have lousy trackpads, when it's a "make or break" part of the user experience (and when Apple got it right enough 10 ~ 20 years ago).
- cxr 6y agoBecause it's probably not a software problem. Why not source better parts from the beginning? The existence of this TM3141 touchpad[1]—which is every bit as good as a MacBook touchpad and works with a stock Ubuntu configuration—is proof that this is already a solved problem. 1. https://www.newegg.com/p/0TP-001B-002C6 https://www.newegg.com/p/0TP-001B-002C6
