When I'm on Gnome, and I select Gnome on X, my trackpad functions as one expects from Linux. When I'm on Wayland, it's like a macbook.

And can't be configured. The loss of function for clickpads is particularly egregious; they're basically unusable under Wayland.

It's funny how I finally find my touchpad usable under wayland ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Notice I said clickpads. Touchpads work fine once you work around Wayland's bizarre fear of enabling tap-to-click.

Ah, I don't like tap-to-click, I always disable it, I need that clicky feeling, often I'll hook up a mouse as well :)

IIRC the culprit is libinput, which worries tap to click is "confusing" for some reason. Which is why I use synaptics when I'm on X.
