I'm running elementary OS on a 2011 Macbook pro. I'm quite pleased with the overall experience but the trackpad feel is quite a disappointment (too sensitive, not precise, issues with selection/drag&drop/scrolling etc.).
My question is: is there an ideal configuration to make it work in a satisfying way? Which driver behaves best? I heard there's synaptics, libinput, mtrack... but I'm no expert.
I simply ran these commands and it works pretty well! Nothing else was needed.
Go root first by executing sudo -i or sudo su in the terminal and then execute the commands bellow,
echo -e "\n# applespi\napplespi\nspi_pxa2xx_platform\nspi_pxa2xx_pci" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
apt install dkms git
git clone https://github.com/cb22/macbook12-spi-driver.git /usr/src/applespi-0.1
dkms install -m applespi -v 0.1
shutdown -r now
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-libinput) just make sure that libinput driver is the only installed on your system because otherwise the system will crash, don't use synaptics is no longer supported in linux and it might crash (synaptics driver aren't updated since 2012)
