From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How to get touchpad acceleration working on Mint XFCE (lemmy.world)

Linux Mint XFCE.

Going into Mouse and Touchpad > Touchpad > Pointer Speed > Acceleration:

BUT changing the acceleration doesn't actually change acceleration, it adjusts speed.

Cinnamon and MATE have different sliders for speed and acceleration and actually worked.

*To clarify, there is only one slider. Yes I am selecting touchpad from the drop down box. The header says "Pointer Speed", the slider says "Acceleration" but adjusts speed. IIRC cinnamon has 2, one for speed and one for accleration, which is what you expect.
