Actually idk where to ask..

Two finger swipe (left) in windows is back button. Any way to implement it in linux?(fedora-gnome)

I'm talking about trackpad gestures the same way swipe from ends work as go back in android. Windows had a back gesture (3 finger swipe in gnome swaps workspaces) [Solved]

This works for me out of the box on KDE with Firefox, but it has to be the Wayland session. It's not implemented for X11.

GNOME should use Wayland by default and I don't expect it to work differently, but maybe this gives you some hints...

Chromium and its descendants also do this, but yes, that's implemented by the browser itself.

Support for global touch gestures is dependent on the DE's feature set.

Sounds like it works in firefox by default. If it working in other apps is a requirement look for a de that supports it globally. Or perhaps find an app that does it. Honestly does seem like something that could be done a driver from my very limited driver knowledge.

Make a meme telling "this is literally impossible I am switching back to ChromeOS" and you will get all the answers

Thanks. TIL best to ask Linux questions in meme groups for fast, reliable and free support.

asking in support group can lead to some annoying answers in my experience. I rarely get the answer I want, mostly just people questioning why I want to do the thing I'm trying to do in the first place, or mansplaining the thing that I already know. the straight to the point -answers are rare

Just tested it after never using it before, it works for me by default on Firefox on GNOME using Wayland on Manjaro.

Always make a statement in opposition to the question you want asked. I think Ubuntu is the best distro for web development.

That multi line editing sold me on it; not that I'll ever use it. Time to jump ship.

I would, but I'm stuck inside vim accidentally and don't know how to exit

2

That is single most annoying and useful feature ever implemented into a track pad.

5

anything with a large user base and easy installer. but since I use fedora I must say, fedora

I actually bounced around a bit before settling on pop. For now.

Slackware. You are either a dumbass for trying it or it will cure you of being a dumbass.

Its the default behaviour for firefox. Normally you have to disable with by tweaking browser.gesture.swipe.left/right in about:config
