How is the trackpoint support in Linux? Is it like most trackpads, a little worse than the Windows driver?
- rolenthedeep 4y agoI've been using Linux on my old thinkpad for a very long time and I've never had to look at TrackPoint settings. It just works. Looking now, the trackpoint shows up as a generic mouse. No special settings or anything. So yeah, on par with windows.
- jaredhallen 4y agoSame. I've run a lot of Linux on a lot of ThinkPads, and never had to think about the track point once.
