Issues with Libinput, but then again also issues with switching to Synaptic drivers

cn flag

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 with i3wm.

I have a script which sets some settings. But since I'm using libinput, some of those commands result in an error:

property 'Synaptics Scrolling Distance' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property 'Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property 'Synaptics Edge Scrolling' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property 'Device Accel Profile' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property 'Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format

Might be me, but I couldn't really find equivalent commands for libinput, so I tried to switch to Synaptics instead. However, that doesn't seem to work either.

I've followed this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/1311104 - And now that dir looks ok, but I'm still apparently using libinput:

What am I doing wrong?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
