I just installed GNOME to replace KDE in Kubuntu, and I can't figure out how to do two finger right click by tapping the touchpad. Additionally, I just discovered that I can't tap to click either.

    @K7AAY My bad! I actually am not using Debian. My OS is called Kubuntu. However, the KDE desktop manager broke so I installed Gnome on top of it. Sorry for running y'all in circles.

  • @Corey Levinson Requested reopening and edited original question (which you can do, too, with edit ) to show it's Kubuntu + GNOME. You can also delete each of your comments above with irrelevant info by clicking Delete after the comment.

Install GNOME Tweaks. In GNOME Tweaks > Keyboard & Mouse, make sure under "Mouse Click Emulation" you select 'Fingers'.

Then open Settings > Mouse/Touchpad, and then tick the check box "Tap to Click" and then tap to click and two finger tap to right click is working again.

    There is no need to install synaptics. This can be enabled with default libinput.
