I was forced to use Apple laptops (M1, M2) for work the past years and I really don't understand what people find so great about mac touchpads compared to the one of at least average laptop with Linux.
I did not really notice a difference or when i noticed some it was in defavor of the Mac. Like precise selecting/drag and drop is marginally harder, you gave to put more force for the physical click, and I find the tap to click to be easier, more reactive, faster "click to effect" on my linux laptops.
- dd_xplore 2y agoOne of the mayor things to hate is that you need to hold down the trackpad to do any stuff
- pulvinar 2y agoSystem Settings > Trackpad > "Tap to click" fixes that. Try out the other options there too: two-finger tap for right-click, two-finger drag for scroll, and three-finger drag window by title bar.
