Comment on How on earth do I fix my trackpad?

This is why I won’t fully switch to Linux. It’s been out for decades but the most basic shit breaks on it that shouldnt break lol. And I bet the only fix is to open terminal and input 40 lines of commands

So edgy to talk about things you know so little about. I bet you’re so fun at parties.

Nope, all I had to do was restart! Really nice actually, surprised it took two to fix the issue.

  The point is you shouldn’t have too imo. Especially for a trackpad.

    Sire, on Windows I ran into similar issues (touchscreen borked for seemingly no reason, which also required a restart). Tje flop side is that Linux doeen’t require an internet connection and MS account to install, you’re not fed AI shovelware that nobody wants, your computer that you paid for does not show you advertisements (see Windows begging people to use MS Office, OneDrive, CoPilot, Xbox stuff), and Linux is also quite a bit faster to run which is nice! Not to mention, it really like the additional customisability and the additional themes I can use, esp when it comes to icon packs! (you would either have to use a separate program or do it manually on Windows)

    I’m sick of this argument man. You can install windows without internet, you don’t need a Microsoft account to use it, I have ZERO ai anything on my PC. I have seen ZERO ads on my PC about anything. I don’t get asked to use Microsoft apps except when you first install windows it asks you if you want to. Like dude what are you even talking about. I’ve used windows since 95. I’ve used many Linux distros, I’ve used Macintosh computers.
    
    Windows can do everything. Linux can do some things, but needs wine or a full emulator of windows to do everything. Mac has more bloat than a Samsung phone.
    
    The only benefit to Linux is that you can usually find a distro that is made for your very specific need of a machine. I on the other hand produce music with FL and Ableton. Which doesn’t run on Linux at all and runs like ass through emulation or with wine or with proton. I don’t understand this community lol.
    
    The only time I run into a PC problem is when I’m using Linux for something. Second worse is macos
