Am I the only one that's having trouble with the Synaptics Touchpad in virtually fucking all Linux distros?

I prefer lightweight DE's such as LXDE/XFCE and I'd give Enlightenment a shot if the distros that run it (like Bodhi or Manjaro) didn't have the jumpy touchpad cursor issue.

I've tried and fix certain config files but it never solves the problem completely.

Right now I've been comfortably using Peppermint with LXDE which is pretty nice and doesn't have that problem, and it's amazing if I don't take into account that I'm not taking advantage of the distro for its original intention

Anonymous 03/07/16 (Mon) 17:37:06 No.4334

The driver may be called "synaptics" but it actually supports all kinds of shitty hardware. If your touchpad's firmware just sucks there's not much you can do about it.

there's probably an xinput setting to make it not awful

Alright, the Gnome team went full fucking retard. Where do I go now? I hate cinnamon, KDE is ugly as always. i3 is usable, but it takes forever to configure it into a non-ugly configuration because the team is full >muh minimalism, and most of that involved using Gnome.

I'm so assblasted, this might force me to start another DE...

I just deleted my Google account. Just like that. I had a bunch of paid Android apps, and didn't even look at what I had in Google Drive (it had been almost a year since I last checked, so I figured I wouldn't miss it anyway).

Let me tell you, it feels great to throw away shit you think you need but actually don't.

Of course Google and the NSA will cherish my data forever, but I will not be feeding them any further via that particular inlet.

Hey, I'm back! Oh, you mean to Google?

Yeah, that's what they said about my Facebook account and my Whatsapp account.

Shit time flies. I think it's been 5 or 6 years now since I quit fucking Facebook.

I still have a Yahoo! and an Apple account. Yahoo will go sooner or later, I just need to use my self-hosted email more and more over the following three years or so, so that people stop contacting me at Yahoo. All my work-related shit goes through my self-hosted company email already.

Apple is going to be tricky, though, at least for now. Same for Steam. Those two I don't see myself getting rid of soon.

I tell you, it's fucking liberating, and easier than it sounds.

I currently use an iPhone (I only have 1 phone). I've had androids, blackberries and Gentoo phones so far in the last five years. As soon as my phone company releases me from my shackles next April I'm planning on buying an old dumbphone and using that for cellphone stuff with the cheapest plan available. I will probably keep the iPhone for smartphony stuff on wifi (mainly for using telegram) until it breaks (these motherfuckers fucking decompose over time).

I really wished the N900 became a reality, but we'll see.

I deleted my Facebook 1 year and a half ago after most people if not everyone I was friends with became irredeemably shitty in one way or another and haven't looked back. Before I did, I changed my account profile picture/name and unfriended/blocked family members, anybody I had previously sent messages to, and anyone that may have affected my job but left everyone else. I also set my privacy to either only me or friends only on everything I could. Then I went on a giant shitposting spree that lasted through the weekend and a "sick" day. I selected 5-10 people total to harass and the salt I received while I pestered them was glorious, but deleting my Facebook was also pretty satisfying. I would 100% recommend doing what I did before deleting your Facebook to anybody on here.

On the other hand, I haven't used G+/YouTube since all the comment chains I was participating in are just boring now and I don't feel like dealing with those people anymore for no entertainment. There are easier and more entertaining ways to get angry. I'll probably delete those accounts when I take the time to log in again, if having the playlists to organize videos and have it run back-to-back without stopping doesn't lure me back into logging on often.

i deal with linux all the time, im even on it right now, every single day, i can confirm this is pretty much exactly what a new user can expect. amd opensource drivers however are very good now, i get three times as many fps in linux verses windows in the only game i even play anymore (quake live). though the actual steam client through wine is fucking broken and has been for awhile now. you can still expect every other game to be broken in multimonitor setups.

i wish linux weren't so frustrating. its a situation where everything appears to work, but is all so unintuitive. like for example, i want to delete a folder from command line. i forget to type -r (recursive) so i cant delete the folder. for some reason linux thinks that when you want to delete a folder you wouldn't want to append -r EVEN THOUGH YOU CANT EVEN HAVE FILES AND FOLDERS OF THE SAME NAME. such an absolutely useless 'necessary' command. or how xorg forces mouse acceleration by default and the only way you can change that is with sudo permissions. and how about the fact that half of all fucking applications don't put their fucking config files in ~/.config? million little small shits that piss me the fuck off.
