My current setup consists of the following: But it's not surprising that a 30 year old terminal emulator doesn't work so great with them.

It's easy enough to see why Mac users like the touchpad, since the OS and most of the programs are designed to play well with a touchpad. Ultimately you either need to get used to it, adjust your habits/software, or plug in a mouse. I think this is a Gnome/Cinnamon option though, touchpad support and features can vary wildly on Linux, so it's worth looking into different options there (eg libinput vs synaptics).

One suggestion for the author that might make their 'click and drag' problems easier - I can double tap (without fully clicking down the touchpad) then keep the second tap held down to have the same effect as moving a mouse with left click held down. But then I've never owned a laptop with one, while they grew up with them. I can't control the old trackpoint laptop mice at all accurately, but some of my friends swear by them and can't bear touchpads. To a degree, it's just what you're used to I guess. On top of the post's complaints, they're also not at all ergonomic and uncomfortable to use for long periods (not that normal mice are fantastically ergonomic either, but at least using something to the side rather than directly in front of you) It always amazes me the number of people who I've worked with who only use the touchpad on their laptops all day - in my last job it was about 90% of the office.
