is MATE absolutely necessary

well I’m too tired to format again. I chose it cuz it is just lighweight ubuntu (knowing that ubuntu is pretty popular = I get more support) and I recently got an ssd dying from opening multiple firefox windows so being lightweight is important, also MATE has GNOME2.

I will try a bit more with fusuma cuz it looks optimal, if it doesn’t work I’ll try libinput. Thank you sir!

I just now opened the terminal and ran this, nothing happened. The I ran “fusuma” and tried pinch zoom and 3 fingers gestures also nothing happened.

Okay! But shouldn’t the problem be resolved when I ran “fusuma” without sudo then? It does nothing to the system

I did the installation multiple times yesterday and shutdown my laptop, now I ran fusuma and I can’t even pinch zoom on a PDF

a quick google shows that MATE uses GNOME 2. Is this not enough ?

I think I forgot one command, the second one. If so, should I just go again through the whole process or I have to uninstall the changes before that (I don’t know how to do this)

haha, sorry nope, I’m african

aaah! okay. So if I’m doing things correctly, why doesn’t fusuma have any effect on my system ?

minimalist is the best part
