From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sanity is restored.
Love KDE, and good to see them chipping away at these pain points.
Nah, it's a bad default taught by Windows users on crap touchpads. Proper clickpads are vastly superior.
Yeah I love moving my finger away from the middle of the touchpad and down to the clicky-thingy just to then move it back to the middle of the touchpad. I think tap-to-click is just faster while having no real disadvantages
That's not a real clickpad then. Proper ones you can just press down everywhere. Even the type cover of my Surface has a that.
Oh I thought you meant separate mouse-buttons. I still think tap-to-click is superior, but as always: if you like to click then go and configure your system to click
you may be surprised to know that crap touch-pads are the majority of touchpads and even moreso in the future since old thinkpads are slowly going away
Companies like Asus and HP ship proper touchpads.
Some of those are still terrible. Compare any of them to my 2011 macbook and they will loose badly
300€ HP 255 G8 works very well, the physical buttons below the pad feel like they'll fall apart with every press as they are only hinged somewhere in the middle
