> I'm not saying that people don't use Linux on laptops by the way, I meant that the overlap between people who run Linux and use a MBP isn't very large (because Linux on Apple can be anything from annoying to install to near impossible).

Maybe I'm in the tiny minority here, but I much prefer the way touchpad handling on Linux behaves compared to both Windows and macOS. At least on sway, it feels more 'accurate' than either of those two - you move your finger and the cursor actually goes to where you want it.

Unfortunately not! I worked on reverse engineering a driver for the SPI touchpad found in newer (but not too new) Macbooks and based most of it on packet captures from Windows' Event Log [1]
