    I wish Wayland had support for multi-finger gestures. I know my System76 laptop’s trackpad supports them on Windows, but Windows is trash. I use them all the time on my Mac, but I just use a mouse on Linux.

      wdym, gnome and kde have 1:1 3/4 finger gestures and smooth scrolling OOTB.
      And it works GREAT!! much better then on win10!
      ONLY under Wayland though…
      if you’re using x11, you won’t get the gestures.

            I have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won’t buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.

              afaik tuxedo laptops are great… but I don’t own any (and don’t need a new laptop rn) so idk
              also maybe you need a legacy driver for your touchpad like xf86 synaptics

                Yet another Linux-first OEM that sells nvidia’s garbage. No thanks.
