Switching To Linux - Tale Of A Former Mac User Who Is Also A Musician

Switching to Linux is easy for most of us. You just have to download and burn a Linux distribution and boot your computer with it. If the Linux distribution you have chosen is a modern one, then you can finish installing it on your machine in 6 steps or less.

However, if you rely on your computer for a living, then you need to do some preparations prior to making the switch. Kim Cascone, an experienced and gifted musician and composer had been using an Apple PowerBook to compose music.

Assign Actions To Multi-Touch Trackpad Gestures With Touchegg

Touchégg is a multi-touch gesture recognizer for Linux (released under GPL) that allows you to associate actions to multi-touch gestures. It can be used to assign gestures to actions like maximize or minimize windows, resize windows, show the desktop, emulate all mouse functions and more.

The application was initially designed for Egg Window Manager but José Expósito (the Touchegg developer) decided to extend its functionality and made it compatible with any window manager.

Touchegg should work on any touchpad compatible with uTouch but its wiki currently only holds the configuration for Apple Magic Trackpad and Asus eeepc 1000h (Buildin Elantech Trackpad) (though the configuration should be similar for other devices too).

To learn more about Touchegg (as well as how to configure it), check out the video below:

Download Touchegg (includes Ubuntu .deb - unfortunately for 32bit only). Please note that I do not own a multi-touch device so I couldn't test Touchegg.

However, all things said and done, Apple products do appeal to most people's sense of beauty and they are getting popular as days go by.
