sudo geany /etc/environment
Add at the bottom of your file:
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1
Save, and then reboot... notice any difference?
Also; If you are using a touchpad and accidentally drag tabs into new windows, you can also change browser.tabs.allowTabDetach and set it to false in the about:config settings.
I installed the Linux kernel v7.0.4 after I installed AntiX26 to get my wifi up and running. Lenovo Ideapad slim 3; modern laptop, but a little weak. I'm very happy with my setup;
I had to boot the live image with kernel v6.x.x just to get my keyboard working. But after the main install of the Antix26 system, I then installed kernel v7.0.4.
This is how I did it; follow these steps to get wifi + kernel 7.0.4:
(before you start, make sure that your wifi card is not soft-blocked(Airplane mode): type in your terminal: rfkill list, if its blocked try to unblock by: sudo rfkill unblock all, or the shortcut for airplane mode on your keyboard. Is your wifi working now? if not, continue. )
(firmware-mediatek did not work for me while using kernel 6.x.x, but after the 7.0.4 update wifi started working.)
Quality of life, 100% screen brightness after every reboot and fix screen tearing:
I also added these two lines at the bottom of my startup config file. You will find it in Control Centre -> Session -> Users Desktop-session ( text file from .desktop-session, startup.) Remember to save after changes:
backlight-brightness -s 100 &
xrandr --output eDP --set TearFree on &
One is to get 100% backlight on my laptop after every reboot so I dont have to adjust it every time, and the other one is for removing screen tearing. But before you add xrandr to your startup file: run xrandr in the terminal to check if you have eDP or some other screen type. Terminal command: xrandr <press enter>. Just place your screen type instead of eDP in the startup command as I have written above. Remember to save your file and reboot. This is my screen type from the terminal:
To check if TearFree is running after a reboot, just write in your terminal: xrandr --verbose | grep TearFree .. it should say TearFree: on, and you should notice it when you scroll up and down on websites that screen tearing is gone.
Quality of life 2, show battery info:
Now you have to open another text file!
If you want to see your battery %, just open Control Centre -> Configure Conky -> And find the line that says something like this (should be at the bottom):
#Battery: ${battery_percent BAT0}% ${alignr}${color8}${battery_bar 8,70 BAT0}
... and just remove the # and save file. You will now see your battery % on your desktop. Now you're done!
Continue reading for setting up theme, scaling, touchpad and fonts ...
Now I recommend that you scale up your fonts DPI in your control centre. I have mine set at 1.17:
This is my dpi settings 15' laptop
My other settings for Look and Feel:
Redmond and change font to Ubuntu regular size 11
Full hinting; but you could also try slight or medium. Try whats best for you.
And for my touchpad mouse sensitivity. Go to Control Centre -> Hardware -> Mouse -> Select touchpad(rolldown menu) -> then a window like this will pop up. Remember to check mark before Applying:
Extra tip 1: Firefox default scaling is set to 110% in the settings, but personal preference.
Extra tip 2: Shortcut for taking a screenshot is FN+S on my keyboard. Could be different on your laptop.
This was very fun; will be my main distro on my laptop. Everything just works. No fuzz. Sharp fonts, sharp theme, bluetooth-audio on my headset, wifi and low ram usage! :)

Installed Ubuntu 26.04 on my desktop. 1920x1080 resolution. Nvidia 3060ti. Everything went smooth and everything works well with the drivers. Except the fonts, they are slightly pixelated just enough to be annoying. I changed them to 9pt in the gnome tweaker and tried all the classic tips & tricks: tint and the other stuff and also tried to change font type to try to get clear fonts. Yes i want 9pt fonts. 11pt is too big even if that size is sharper(11 pt size is also sligthy pixelated, but a little less than 9pt.)
Blurry fonts are not acceptable for me. What do to? 9pt fonts are knife sharp in windows 11.
