The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing

Essentially everyone, when they first build a distributed application, makes the following eight assumptions. All prove to be false in the long run and all cause big trouble and painful learning experiences.

  1. The network is reliable
  2. Latency is zero
  3. Bandwidth is infinite
  4. The network is secure
  5. Topology doesn’t change
  6. There is one administrator
  7. Transport cost is zero
  8. The network is homogeneous

Thanks for your reply, actually the trackpad isn't nearly as good as in windows regarding aspects such as sensitivity, responsiveness and general feel. I think that the process of optimizing it is a bit more involved than accessing the settings or the tweak tool.

The hardware didnt change, therefore responsiveness, sensitivty didnt change at a hardware level. 

 

How the os reacts to an input, now that is a different matter.

 

Gestures controls likely sit within an Asus utility program, which you can install with wine.

 

Otherwise use an app with the features you need.

 

 

Intel 12400F | 2x8 3000Mhz Corsair LPX | ASRock H570M-ITX  | Noctua DH-N14 | Corsair MP50 480GB | Meshilicious | Corsair SF600 |  Fedora

 

Thanks let me know if I said something useful. Cheers!

Is there an app that you would suggest?
