    Yes. Razer Blades and MacBooks have the worst trackpads in the world.

    How about I just hate that feature? I rest my finger on the trackpad and maybe want to move slightly, and it clicks. How about I just don’t want that?

    macOS disables this option by default because it’s dumb. The whole trackpad allows you to click anyway. It’s a feature _for_ shitty trackpads, not a feature for good ones.

    Then again most Windows laptops do have shitty trackpads, so it does make sense to enable it by default I guess…

    I personally don’t care for tap to click and turn it off, but I am using a magic trackpad 2 and I can adjust the click pressure with it. It is best to set the defaults to what everyone else defaults to as that will have the easiest transition for users new to linux kde.

    This feels like opposite-land.

    It always misfires for me and clicks all over the place for no apparent reason. Thank goodness I can still disable it.

    Very good decision!
    But they should also add icons on desktop by default, at least for home and trash.
