Linux

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.

I recently breathed some new life into this crappy old Nextbook Flexx 10 I have had for years by trying out some lightweight distros. I have Lubuntu on it currently, and I am really enjoying LXQt so far. I was surprised at how good looking you can get it.

That leads me to a minor inconvenience. I like using my old imac USB mouse with it. It's small, has a short cord, and works on just about any surface. The click is also very satisfying. The problem is, it only has one button. On Mint and Windows, that's been an easy fix with built-in accessibility settings. Just long click to right click. But I cannot find that anywhere in Lubuntu. Am I just missing it somewhere? Is there an easy way to implement it?
