    Where exactly is this downloadable? I read the blog post and followed the links and still haven’t figured out what to do.

    Nice. I’m using a dell 7440 latitude with Mint Cinnamon and the track pad is glitchy to say the least.

      There’s a lot of different aspects to a good touchpad experience but from my knowledge linux distros do not implement smooth scrolling, apps have to do it individually

        But what is smooth scrolling? It’s a serious question.

        I always thought my scrolling experience was quite fluid. Even used a mac for about a week and went back to linux without missing anything.

          responsive, high fps scrolling instead of big discrete jumps. Makes it feel like there’s a direct connection between your finger movement and the content on screen. I’m guessing you’re either using mainly apps that already have decent smooth scrolling or maybe you just aren’t sensitive to it. There’s also kinetic scrolling, where stuff will keep moving after your finger lifts as if it had momentum, the acceleration profile and some other stuff. I’m not sure how much this post covers
