> In Linux, wrists keep triggering touch events as you type. Screens start scrolling, focus goes to random things, and everyone swears. You end up having to hold your hands right over the keyboard in a very unnatural way to avoid accidental mouse interaction. […] Linux simply doesn’t cope with hands near the touchpad.

Enable the option to sleep the touchpad when the user starts typing.

I recently discovered after reinstalling Linux Mint on my Dell XPS (that shipped with Ubuntu) that is not an option "out of the box". On my previous interest I used to have that option. Now I'm not sure where it's gone so I do (very sadly) only have the option to "disable touchpad when mouse is connected." Please help!
