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.

Okay first question is : is MATE absolutely necessary ?
If not, I would advise you to switch to a distro that uses GNOME or KDE. I'd go for Zorin OS which is really perfect for anyone beginning on Linux.
In any case, I have a solution that should work no matter the device. It requires you to have libinput and libinput-gestures installed (rather than fusuma which I found buggy and laggy)

I tried my best to make it beginner-friendly — even if it is not. Don't read the first paragraph which is KDE specific.
well I'm too tired to format again. I chose it cuz it is just lighweight ubuntu (knowing that ubuntu is pretty popular = I get more support) and I recently got an ssd dying from opening multiple firefox windows so being lightweight is important, also MATE has GNOME2.
I will try a bit more with fusuma cuz it looks optimal, if it doesn't work I'll try libinput. Thank you sir!
In any case, since you use SSD, don't forget to enable TRIM 😉
