Patents?

But you don’t even see it in like an unofficial libinput patch done by someone who is hobby-passionate. I’ve never had a good trackpad experience outside of Apple and I refuse to believe it hasn’t been reversed.. It can’t be patents, can it?
I legit used to no-scope people in Halo Combat Evolves on my PowerBook G4 back in the day - with the trackpad.
I remember Microsoft put gpu makers through hell when they put out the driver framework thing a few years ago? I wish they took trackpads seriously (even for gaming) and forced that synaptics shit out. Maybe people laugh at the idea of gaming with a trackpad but I wish it were possible even if I’m a minority. I wish games could support trackpad gestures too.
Also I meant 3840x* above.
2) I'm far from an expert on this: I don't know why it's taken more than a decade to figure out trackpad motion.
