I don't want to sound snarky or overly skeptical, but I've seen a lot of people say that the trackpad under macOS is a lot nicer than that under linux, but I don't see what they mean. I have a ~6yo linux laptop as my primary machine and I pretty regularly help my mother-in-law with her ~1yo macbook pro and, other than the mac's trackpad being quite a bit larger, feel no difference between them. I grew up using macs, so I get that they often have that extra bit of quality that's not always easy to put into words, but I just don't feel that with the trackpad. Just curious what the difference is for you?
