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.

Saying that but KDE have been having fantastic 1:1 trackpad for a looong time now. And most are usable. What is bad for you? Does gnomes let you configure with gesture for which?

Gnome's trackpad gestures are just something else. I don't know what wizardry they've done.

Those in Plasma and Windows are just terrible in comparison tbh. Gnome's are better than Apple's, even.
