Still sad because my Precision 5560 (same as XPS 9510) has this floaty trackpad bug on Ubuntu and Pop OS for whatever reason! (I haven't tried any other distro). Much easier for me to swap to Linux on my laptop than my desktop because my laptop is just for Python, LaTeX, and MATLAB.

Dell even sells a 5560 with Ubuntu preinstalled, but they don't make it available for users. But I have not for the life of me been able to get the track-pad bug to go away.

Sadly I've been at this thread and done this already, did not work :(

People think it's just due to the trackpads being crap (and somehow Windows gets around it). I'll probably never need to buy another laptop, but if I do I will probably not buy a Dell again regardless of how much I love every other aspect of this laptop.

Qwant is a privacy-focused search engine that puts your needs first while protecting your personal data. By blocking trackers and advertisements, Qwant helps your search results remain unbiased and comprehensive. Just like Firefox, they are committed to protecting your privacy and preserving the decentralized nature of the web, where people have control over their online experiences.

Except starting this week, Qwant has started blocking me for using an adblocker. I've had to block Javascript to get around it.

There are users that complain about it from over a year ago. Maybe it's a slow rollout, or some game of cat-and-mouse where my ublock isn't updating for some reason.

But I can still search from the browser search bar and I get results. It's when trying to edit my search that I get problems.

Cool that average FPS is better but:

The impressive FPS deltas aside, it should be mentioned that, with the exception of Arch Linux, average frame times (measured as 1% lows, in this case) on Linux were generally behind what Windows managed by up to 20%

I feel like worse 1% lows makes this title misleading. Hopefully with time this gap will close.
