    Windows Precision Touchpad Driver Implementation for Apple MacBook / Magic Trackpad

  • Not officially supported, but yeah, they do work on windows

  • Fusuma

    Multitouch gestures with libinput driver on Linux (by iberianpig)

  • The gestures are interpretations of the touch signals that the trackpad provides, and those signals are available to your computer. The gestures and their functions are features of the operating system, but you can define your own gesture with tools like https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma. Are you mad that the Magic Trackpad does not come with a full set of gesture support for Mint, Gnome, i3, or any of the gosh hundreds of window managers out there? What would you expect to happen to resolve this complaint?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Scroll-Reverser

    Per-device scrolling prefs on macOS.

  • The sheer fucking arrogance of them telling the consumer which direction they're allowed to scroll their device is why the only Apple product I own is the company-provided Mac which I installed https://github.com/pilotmoon/Scroll-Reverser on to let me use the way I want to use it.
