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?

Do you mean a USB trackpad for desktop use or an integrated one in a laptop?

I'd also be interested in the former.

Sorry, I should have clarified: Bluetooth or USB-connected trackpad. I use a fancy mechanical keyboard so I need some other input device that isn't my laptop's integrated trackpad.

I'm looking for one of these too, have got very comfortable with my trackpad on my laptop with hyprland and gnome gestures, would like that on my PC too
