Hardware-wise, no, I've had plenty of PC trackpads that are better than Apple trackpads. But MacOS tends to have better built-in support for advanced gestures, which seem to be impossible on Windows and must be manually configured on Linux (but gives you enormous power once you do).
- dismalaf 1y agoGNOME on Wayland has lots of useful gestures out of the box. It's part of the DE though, so lots of DEs don't have them.
- kzrdude 1y agoUsing Gnome (for whatever reason), I'm used to two finger scrolling and three finger swiping just working by default.
- danudey 1y agoApple's palm rejection is also top tier, though other systems have been getting better. My current Dell seems fine so far, but at my last company the Dell I had was almost unusable due to my cursor just teleporting around my document randomly if my hands got too close to the trackpad (which is where they have to be to type). Not sure if it's a hardware (Dell) or software (Ubuntu) improvement, but thank god.
- silon42 1y agoEven Apple's palm rejection is not good enough for me. I really hated the huge touchpad when I was using a Mac.
