From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh I thought you meant separate mouse-buttons. I still think tap-to-click is superior, but as always: if you like to click then go and configure your system to click
I personally prefer tap to click being off because I accidentally click too much when it is on. But it seems like I'm the only one with this problem, so I don't mind changing a setting for it.
Interestingly, on Windows you can't set three finger tap to a middle click unless tap is on for this gesture only. It's kind of a weird quirk.
Yes, that's good. And since they changed from mouse single click to double click, the amount of needed changes stays the same.
