I really would like to switch from to on the desktop but there's still no way have two-finger scrolling without relentless gratuitous zoom-outs and -ins because it thinks your fingertips didn't trace perfectly parallel lines. MacOS NEVER gets confused about this kind of thing.

@pieist I've not had this issue on fedora or pop!os. Using a magic trackpad out of the box

@Twashe Indeed, it might be a function of the Synaptic driver or the actual physical hardware on non-apple trackpads. I'm using a Logitech keyboard on MATE and it's driving me nuts at the moment. Disabling all gestures including two-finger scrolling fixes it, but I don't want to do that.

@pieist to me it's all in the feeling of the trackpad and i simply could not find a better non-apple trackpad. ya know?

Sorry man that must be frustrating

@Twashe Well it's good to know that Apple trackpads work nowadays, I'll try it on a VM on a macbook. The magic mouse seems to have some support problems still.

@Twashe Mmm, come to think of it a VM probably won't prove anything... the host MacOS environment is going to be handling the hardware.

@pieist pass through the usb? you'll need an additional external mouse
