I have no doubt that from the libinput's perspective there is no difference
between my trackpad and a MacBook pro trackpad. But from the user’s perspective
they couldn’t be more different. My trackpad is shifted to the left, meaning as
the right hand comes down, and thumb is directly in the center of the pad.
There is a visual indicator of 2 buttons, and there is no bump for tactical
feedback, and it’s a smaller pad that the MacBook.
I took the effort to file a bug report, because there’s a real usability issue
here. If libinput developers insist on defaults that make sense to them rather
than the actual users of the hardware, the end result will be that people will
hate distros that use libinput. Distro like Fedora that use It will feel buggy,
while others like Ubuntu that use synaptics will feel right.</pre>
