Wow this looks great, surprisingly polished for KDE (and I say this as someone who enjoys KDE)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah I really like this.. Especially the animation on the overview and the rounded corners on the dock. Can't wait till they get Wayland support all figured out, then it's gonna be 👌

Oh hell yeah, three/four finger touchpad gestures. Been wondering why tf I can't do that on my laptop.
Edit: ah 3d gestures. The little hand showed 3 fingers, so maybe it's kind of implementing it in the background as part of that fix? Or maybe it's already a thing in kde and I'm just dumb lol.
If anyone is running kde on a laptop, and is able to use more than 2 fingers at once for touchpad gestures, please let me know how.
If your on x, touchegg bby... It sadly doesn't work for Wayland but it's legit a thing I can't live without now....
I'm on Wayland these days. I'll keep that in mind though if I ever need to switch back to X for whatever reason.
KWin had four finger touchpad gestures since 2017. If they don't work for you in the Wayland session, your touchpad most likely simply doesn't support detecting more than two fingers
Tocuhpad worked fine with 3+ fingers when it was still running Windows (before I put Linux on it).
I'll look into using KWin for this. As I said in the other reply, I'm using Wayland, so if that's a feature from X, that could be why I can't do it currently.
No, they're not a feature from X, quite the opposite. They're Wayland only.
If the hardware works, you might want to check sudo libinput debug-events for whether or not the driver works as well. If it does report gesture events with 3 and 4 fingers and KWin doesn't react to them, please open a bug report at bugs.kde.org about it
I'll look into it, thanks.
That was all over the place, and browsing that video, I still have no idea what it's about when a few paragraphs of text would have done the job just fine and taken less than a minute to parse.
It's more of a sequel to his previous video on the topic, doesn't make as much sense on it's own
