Ubuntu practiced configuration removal and I dropped them.
One of the 3 reasons why I dropped Ubuntu for Mac OSX was that Ubuntu... didn't allow me to configure my mouse speed. They "merged" the speed and acceleration control of the mouse (which is quite unclever) and also prevented it fom going <1, while I'm usually comfortable at 0.25. It made my tracking devices unusable, thus it made Ubuntu unusable.
- sandGorgon 12y agoNot taking anything away from your comment (which is something I feel too), but here's a quickfix for you >synclient MinSpeed=1.2 AccelFactor=0.25 Make it permanent in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf My 6 year old laptop has multi-touch pad emulation on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04... I couldnt be happier.
- sesqu 12y agoThere's a huge amount of configuration in X that I've been grateful for over the years. I wonder how Mir fares in this respect.
- lmm 12y agoApple is not a company with a configuration-retention philosophy (see e.g. recent Save As... changes). If that's really what matters to you you'd probably be better off with BSD, a more power-user-oriented linux (arch, gentoo, slackware), or even windows.
