I guess the Manjaro partition on my dual-boot laptop will finally be woken up for the first time in months

Side note: Anyone got advice on how to make my Synaptics touchpad work the same as it does on windows? That's like my number 1 pet peve whenever I try Linux on my laptop

I have no clue, but it may help someone that does know if you specify what your expected behavior is. "The same as it does on windows" isn't very descriptive to anyone without the same hardware to find out how they differ.

If it's just inverted scrolling, for instance, there's a setting for that in the mouse/touchpad settings of most DEs

If it's weird and or has latency, then make sure you have manually installed the synaptics drivers. That was at least the fix for my ThinkPad.

Yeah, it's the floaty feeling, I think that I had installed them, but IIRC you had to configure them by editing a config file and I couldn't get it to work just right
