    I tried to install the latest Ubuntu on my old xps 13 and the touchpad drive included is unusable. It’s way way too sensitive, and there is no settings to change it. You have to completely replace it with something else apparently.

      Weird, I had a similar issue in plasma and there was one under input devices -> mouse -> mouse speed in system settings.

      I’d be surprised if gnome has no equivalent

        I found several form or reddit posts indicating there was so setting. I kind abandoned the whole thing once I found several pieces of software are no longer releasing deb files and are using some kind of flatpack that wasn’t working. I’m completely ignorant of current linux, but I can’t help but feel like it was easier to manage back in 2008 when I daily drove it.

          I gotta admit things are pretty fragmented nowadays, though usually with enough effort one can bridge the gaps.

          But hey at least we have more software now
