I'm running Asahi Linux on my macbook, and the trackpad feels amazing there! Especially pixel perfect scrolling and gestures in mutter.
I only have two minor issues:
There doesn't seem to be a working stop scroll event when using kinetic scrolling in Firefox. On osx you can stop kinetic scrolling by just touching the trackpad, but on linux you have to scroll a little bit to slow it down.
And generally the kinetic scrolling isn't yet consistent across applications. Firefox has a nice implementation, but it feels quite different from Gnome apps, and then some like gnome-terminal don't have working kinetic scrolling yet.
- amalgamated_inc 4y agoHa, interesting, the scroll stopping is pretty much my only complaint, too. I suppose I've gotten used to it by briefly counter-scrolling at the end, but it'd be great not to have to do that.
- kaali1 4y agoThis issue is the reason I switch to Chromium to read long articles. The fix seems to unfortunately be gated by Firefox migrating to GTK4 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1568722 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1568722
- hitchhikerr 4y agoIn regards to gnome-terminal, you can try gnome-console instead which correctly supports kinetic scrolling. It's missing a lot of the settings that gnome-terminal has, so it may not meet your needs, but if you just want a simple terminal emulator it works well.
- fabrice_d 4y agoI'm running Firefox nightly on a Framework under Ubuntu, and kinetic scrolling stops with single finger tap on the trackpad. You have to do a tap, not just touch the trackpad, so it's a bit different than on Mac.
