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 can't get fusuma to work on my ubuntu MATE (lemmy.ml)

I'm new to linux, running last version of ubuntu MATE. Tried to get fusuma to have a better experience with my touchpad (I'm using an hp notebook). I followed the whole guide for ubuntu users on the Github page, created the config.yml using these two commands:

mkdir -p ~/.config/fusuma

nano ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml

Then I used the config.yml file they provided and got the result you see in this image when I launched sudo fusuma, i.e the error :

config file: /root/.config/fusuma/config.yml is NOT FOUND

Then I run just "fusuma" without sudo and the error disappeared, but fusuma does literally nothing. Can someone please help me with this?

This is the first time I installed a Linux distro (I heard it lowers the possibility of getting a blue screen which happened to me lately result of my SSD dying). So I really don't understand permissions here (how I run things as administrator like in windows) and the difference between root and home clearly, I don't even know how to uninstall fusuma to try again now!
