Comment 42 for bug 1338973

This ridiculous. The Touchpad (17.10 but same for 17.04. 16.x) is waayyy to sensitive.
So you do a search for help. What do you find? Lots and lots of links to and excuses.
Windows and Mac had this sorted for decades. How is it that the Trackpad on Linux is so unusable? Starts selecting and clicking when I did not tap, start selecting text etc etc.
Go here, do this setting, install this tweak, that config - oh yeah right - most, no, all of the programs are not available, have been dropped (gpointing-device-settings, Synaptiks etc etc).
Oh... and Wayland libinput you cannot get the configs for it.
I'm getting to the point of just uninstalling and going back to another Operating System. Every bloody time you install something it is dependency hell, unconfigurable things and crashing of apps.
Maybe it is time to stand still for a while and just fix what is there instead of going for yet another new interface, yet another new glitzy theme and feature when the basics don't work properly.

And looking at the lots and lots of bugs logged, this is not a new issue. This is coming on decades now that a basic feature like a usable trackpad is still not working.
Ridiculous
