GNOME has kind of always been on the opposite end of the configurability spectrum from KDE, IME.īut also I'm not super clear on how libinput fits into the picture, I think there used to be some Synaptics-specific integration in certain places that I never went back to, to confirm the differences (switched to libinput several years before, and I've completely forgotten since what I was trying to solve back then).Īnyway, I ended up writing a mostly-personal-anecdote below, that would likely not help, so you can probably skip it (if you do want to try anything, KUbuntu and are both on top of Ubuntu, and there's other distros, but I've not kept up with any distro I might recommend) I assume that GNOME big EGO designer checks the touchspeed setting on his laptop, decides what is best for him and hardcodes it in, in their mind GNOME is usable and if you somehow disagree they will tell you to move on, they will never admit anything, they want to push out all the people that disagree with their vision and keep only the ones on the exact sam page with them on all the possible points. Let's assume you are right and defaults could be good for 99% but IMO are great only for 40%, I want great, not good or OK, but I don't want to force my preference on others, just wish others won't remove functionality because it is used by less then 50%.ĮDIT: I think I might have misunderstood your point and my reply was offtopic, I don't care that the majority things the keyboard layout should look like, I am more comfortable in my way where a GNOME user will not even consider that it could be possible to customize the keyboard layout or change keyboard shortcuts, some big ego dude decided for them.
I also prefer to change the keyboard layout around so I can do most used keyboard shortcuts comfortable with just my left hand.
Nomachine 4 how to#
For example my eyes are bad, and one is worse, so I prefer one side of the screen more, I want to put my important stuff like notifications on my good side, I do not need a pretend UX guru to tell me how to have my notifications and hard code them. This is not true, we are not all the same. >You shouldn't need to "think for yourself" as a prerequisite to have usable tools
When I switch to my Linux laptop to test things, my trackpad is bonkers and I have to move my finger in like 1mm increments because otherwise I'd scroll like 10 pages in Firefox. At all.įrom what I was able to gather, Wayland/libinput say they shouldn't be responsible for handling it and instead window managers should, meanwhile gnome says wayland/libinput should handle it and ultimately - several years later - it's still not possible to in pretty much any Linux distro that uses Wayland(?) The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me, and which I've been unable to solve, is that apparently it's not possible to configure trackpad scroll speed. I recently tried switching to Linux with a few different distro's (Ubuntu, Elementary OS, etc.) and use Wayland.
