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

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
