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.

Best trackpad for Linux? (lemmy.world)

Is it Apple's Magic Trackpad? If I dual-boot Windows (for work, I swear!) does it work equally as well across both?

The trackpad by default on my Asus Tuf Gaming laptop works fine. I wouldn't buy Apple products in general as they're usually overpriced for their functionality.

I generally dislike apple, but I think trackpads and laptops with long battery life are the 2 parts where they actually excel

OP is talking about external USB trackpads
