Right now I’m using an unsupported version of Ubuntu and Gnome 2. I’m considering Linux Mint Debian Edition and Mate.
Right now I can use the keyboard, touchpad, mouse, and joystick. I have a buggy touchpad and it’s very important to be able to install the needed patches and be able to disable tapping. If I can’t disable tapping, then nothing works and everything goes haywire. I would prefer to be able to use a joystick, since it doesn’t require the same arm-twisting, but it doesn’t offer enough point control. I cannot use a scrollwheel or a trackball or the like. Cannot.
I’m not exactly satisfied with Gnome 2. It’s a strain on my arms and hands. I need wider scrollbars and bigger on-screen buttons so I can use the scrollbars and buttons, and I need more smaller menus so I can use them menus without the submenus collapsing. But it’s the best I’ve seen so far.
I’ve tried Unity.
I’ve tried Xfce. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support touchpad settings.
I’ve tried KDE. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support touchpad settings, and it keeps resetting the screen to maximum brightness which makes my eyes bleed.
