KDE Plasma and grouped-application task switching
I think this script (demoed here) might be something that you'd want to look into. However, development is paused and I've no idea if it currently works. Still, you might add a link to the script in the bug report and perhaps contact Nate Graham to let him know this exists.

5.24 Overview Button
5.24 brought the amazing Overview effect to Plasma, it's beautiful and useful. With Parachute breaking in 5.23 the Overview effect was highly anticipated and now that it's native, a user no longer needs to install a separate Kwin script to get this awesome virtual desktop switcher / window previewer.

Parachute forks?
Parachute has been paused, any forks or similar projects?
- Does parachute kwin script still work for you guys?

Is there a way to have Gnome style hot-corner in KDE?
parachute script and toggle-parachute.

Assign meta key to Overview effect
Your answer reminded me of this subject being discussed on the Parachute effect github on this issue.

some good looking background on desktop grid like in blur-me with gnome 40 would be awesome
you can try using parachute, it will show you your desktop wallpaper with blur plus it has more functionality (krunner) and looks better in my opinion. It also works with the compositor turned off https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

How can I assign Fedora 34 like Windows key behaviour and 3 finger gesture?
This one does the job, but seems to be abandoned, sadly: https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

Yet another guide to configuring Linux on G14.
My fusuma config: I have configured fusuma to move to right virtual desktop on three finger swipe right, left virtual desktop on three finger swipe left, run parachute (MacOS like overview) on three finger swipe up, and show desktop on three finger swipe down. In order to do so, I had to configure KDE shortcuts, parachute automatically adds ctrl+super+d shortcut and if I correctly remember, KDE has meta + d to show desktop by default . My config is as follows:

Teach this GNOME user the Plasma way
All I really wanted was a workspace picker the one in Windows 10, Elementary OS, MacOS, GNOME, and Deepin. I wanted to avoid installing Parachute because just I don't enjoy tweaking my desktop, digging through settings, or troubleshooting; I just want the defaults to work because I couldn't actually get Parachute to work. (Yes, I know what activities are and how they work, but they're not what I'm looking for.)

3 finger touchpad gesture to switch between groups
I don't think there are native gestures in qtile. I use fusuma, since it works better for me on X11 and wayland, but I've also used libinput-gestures in the past when on X11, and that works too.

I got an error while trying to use fusuma
I'm new to linux, running last version of ubuntu MATE. Tried to get fusuma to have a better experience with my touchpad (I'm using hp notebook). I followed the whole guide for ubuntu on the Github page, created the config.yml using these two commands:

I've had enough of the fact that there isn't a way to change the 4-finger swipe down touchpad gesture to trigger the overview instead of the present windows effect...
For info, I've been using Fusuma to configure my touchpad gestures and it is awesome!

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma this might do the job? I have been using it on Hyprland and, despite the downside of being in Ruby, it works really well and seems stable.

3 Finger Workspace instead of 4.
I use Fusuma to manage gestures and have deactivated the COSMIC gestures extension.

This laptop has a trackpad above the keyboard
The gestures are interpretations of the touch signals that the trackpad provides, and those signals are available to your computer. The gestures and their functions are features of the operating system, but you can define your own gesture with tools like https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma. Are you mad that the Magic Trackpad does not come with a full set of gesture support for Mint, Gnome, i3, or any of the gosh hundreds of window managers out there? What would you expect to happen to resolve this complaint?

Can I add custome trackpad gestures to pop_os?
I like using fusuma.

Additional gestures.
Thx! I actually looked at this, but it only can emulate shortcuts pressing, as I get it. Instead I tried https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma which has more features and works perfectly with Hyprland.

I use Fusuma to configure my gestures and it is awesome!
