    I use a left-handed mouse, and every time I boot up, the setting reverts back to right-handed. I have change it again to left-handed. Any way to make it permanent?

    Thanks, and so glad to see this OS is alive and well (I just made  a donation).

    In relation to clicking.
    Oops, I just saw that I put this in the wrong forum. I haven't been here in awhile, I got lost in the weeds!

    open the file manager go to the view menu and select show hidden files.. from there navigate to your home directory and you'll see .config

    Thanks, that worked. Just changed mouse=0 to mouse=1, per the ubuntu thread you provided. It actually worked immediately, no reboot needed (although I did reboot to test, it and it still works).
