Linux touchpad like a Macbook: goal worth pursuing?

I used thinkpad nipples for 5+ years.

Macbook took a couple months of adjustment. But there is almost no use of muscle whatsoever when moving the mouse on a macbook. Thinkpads feel incredibly straining in comparison now. And scrolling on a macbook...completely effortless. There is nothing like it.

TrackPoint scrolling feels far more effortless to me. No need to move your fingers back and forth repeatedly to keep swiping.

I'm using a Dell Latitude E7440 for years now with Linux, and scrolling is effortless. I'm really intrigued by what exactly the MBP scroll does better.

I'm on a latitude 7480 at work. Clunky keyboard, clumsy trackpad, dim screen.
