- xputer 4y agoHave you ever used said MacBook intensively with OSX? I guarantee you the difference in trackpad performance will be mind boggling and frustrating. Literally the only thing keeping me away from using Linux.

- hot_gril 4y agoI'm extra careful with compatibility claims after the number of times someone says how Linux works great on whatever Mac, or Mac OS runs great on a Hackintosh, only for me to discover how many "inconsequential" things are broken. Like it'll not sleep, not have wifi or bluetooth, run the fans at 100%, and be missing various forms of hardware accel.
- msravi 4y agoYes, I have, intensively for 5 years or so. Apart from gestures (which I don't use), I find the trackpad performance just fine.
- macintux 4y agoGestures are a huge part of the appeal for some of us, so that’s good to know.
- pantalaimon 4y agoI think they are available on Gnome
- LesZedCB 4y agoworks yes but it is jumpy and no gestures by default. my ability to precisely mouse over a target and click is significantly diminished from osx. I only installed a few months ago so the loss is still near to me.
- msravi 4y agoGestures are not there on Linux, but in terms of mouse movement and scrolling I don't see a difference!
- RileyJames 4y agoI similarly found the trackpad fine with Linux mint. Tho I found the difference in gestures quite annoying. Primarily in web apps like Miro. And window / app switching. With enough hacking around it seemed like all the gesture support was there, but making it all work in the same way as OSX was going to require a lot of configuration.
