Libinput 1.18 Released With Better Gesture Detection

I think you misunderstood. 144Hz is a pro-Gnome troll who copy and pastes that message into every article, claiming that everything good about Linux is done by Gnome devs.

Yep, he has put RH and (by proxy) G3 so far up that pedestal he can taste it.

Possibly a type of Stockholme syndrome. They start worshiping these big companies because they can't see (based on their own inadequacies) how normal people like you or me could ever hope to do cool things with computers. Whereas "companies" are gods that have transcended human limitations.

I believe it to be the related mentality why a kid would almost risk their own life to defend the IP of a company like Valve or EA rather than support a smaller indie or startup.

And finally, why the *BSD forums or mailing lists are often visited by these kids on an almost daily basis, claiming that the existance of these projects offends them

In some ways I also suspect (possibly subconciously) they get a kick out of the idea that by everything changing and "modernizing", it makes it very difficult for individuals to carry on doing cool things (i.e they need to retrain in Wayland rather than X11) and in many ways becoming as useless and reliant on RH as they are.

If anyone feels like doing a Psychology PhD, there is a potential thesis opportunity!

Same reason why the kids from the freebsd forum visit this very one claiming that the existence of these projects offends them. Kids are kids.

There's more than enough toilet paper already.

I tested today and pinch-to-zoom gesture detection is way better now!

The gestures fix is very important for Gnome 40 users - at least on my touchpad it fixes cases of very erratic workspace switching etc.

I second that. Any fix for touchpad gestures is welcome, and it should be the absolute priority.

Gnome (3.XX or 40) is a mess either with the keyboard or the mouse/touchpad (as a mouse substitute), or with both. In terms of hand movements, it's the worst possible UI.
But... with touchpad 3/4-finger gestures, it finally starts to make sense and helps getting rid of 75% of the ridiculous and useless hand movements.

So libinput has become a central piece of the puzzle.
