you may be surprised to know that crap touch-pads are the majority of touchpads and even moreso in the future since old thinkpads are slowly going away

Companies like Asus and HP ship proper touchpads.

Some of those are still terrible. Compare any of them to my 2011 macbook and they will loose badly

300€ HP 255 G8 works very well, the physical buttons below the pad feel like they'll fall apart with every press as they are only hinged somewhere in the middle

My apologies, it seems we do not have the same definition of proper touchpads, of all the laptop brands in the world, asus and hp are amongst the few that I would consider unsuitable including their touchpads which are the most basic low grade pads i can think of, maybe their more than a grand models are better

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.
