    I've shared my opinion on why mouse/trackpad handling is terrible on most Linux distributions [0], thanks to an insane obsession w/ rewriting the entire stack and throwing away vendor-provided acceleration curves in order to provide gesture support, instead of just building it on top of the correct, working solution.

    More importantly, there is a solution for fixing this and I've done my part by open sourcing a multi-touch gesture support that's driver-agnostic and runs on top of the vendor-provided drivers w/ their correct acceleration curves [1].

    (But TBH I don't know if this applies to Apple's trackpad because I don't know if there are any first-party drivers w/ proper acceleration curves for Linux or if they've all been poorly reverse engineered.)

    I wrote a general purpose multitouch daemon w/ gesture support for Linux that works with the existing input stack (i.e. doesn’t require switching to evinput), if anyone is interested:
