There are many mouse settings one can configure in Ubuntu Linux. For example, one can choose to change their mouse primary button, show mouse pointer location, change the size of their mouse pointer, and many more. By default, Ubuntu Linux allows users to open an item by double-clicking using the mouse primary button.
