Making mouse pointer movement smooth with touchpad in Kubuntu 18.04

I have noticed that my mouse pointer (rather touchpoint pointer) moves in a jumpy manner while trying Kubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver on my Acer laptop.
After some research I've managed to fix this. Here's how:
1. Open Konsole
2. Run this command:
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
(don't forget to enter your password :)
3. Reboot

That's basically it. After this you can open System Settings, go to Input Devices / Touchpad settings and further adjust Noise Cancellation if you really want to.

Here's a little video I made about it in Kdenlive (it was an excuse to spend some time learning the basics of Kdenlive, really :).

Makes me wonder why it isn't installed out of the box :|
