    Better trackpad support on KDE on Wayland. I use multi-finger gestures all the time on my MacBook, and my System76 laptop supports them on Windows, but the only gesture that works on Linux is two-finger scrolling.

      Really? I’ve been using three and four finger gestures on Plasma for a while now. Three fingers to change desktop and so on. Are you on an old version of Plasma?

        Using the latest Plasma Wayland on Arch, btw. They don’t work on any other distro I’ve tried either. My System76 supports gestures on Windows 10.

      Have you tried GNOME Wayland? Your System76 laptop should support Fedora Workstation. As long as the hardware in your System76 laptop is capable, it can so pinch to zoom and 2-3 fingers scrolling for workspace switching, revealing the overview, etc. 1:1 gestures like a MacBook, too.

      I know the switch from KDE is daunting. I’ve done it too. But GNOME Wayland is simply above everything else right now

        I’m not willing to switch to GNOME. Having to install a bunch of extensions to get a halfway usable experience that the GNOME devs can and will break on a whim isn’t my cup of tea.

      KDE has multifinger gestures on wayland but present windows is 4 fingers down and present workspaces 4 fingers up. 3 finger gestures are to slide around workspaces. For whatever reason there is no way to customize this.
