The accidental clicks while in crouton (chrooted Ubuntu) on my Pixel are kind of annoying. The touchpad is super sensitive, resulting in a lot of extra clicks on stuff when I'm typing. In XFCE, there's a pretty easy way to deal with this.Simply go to Settings -> Mouse -> Touchpad and un-check 'Tap touchpad to Click'. Optionally, also 'Disable touchpad while typing'. I had been using the 'disable touchpad while typing' option for a bit, but I still get accidental clicks. I'm hoping that disabling the ultra-sensitive taps will give a better result
