What are some good LTS distros that are preferably not Debian based
FYI: I/O is indeed a limiting factor but apt is not very efficient and updates can get a lot faster with wrappers like apt-fast which download and process in parallel.

Anyone facing the download speed of all packages from terminal is slow?
If picking another mirror doesn't speed it up, I can highly recommend apt-fast.

Holy crap that's fast
just as a tip: if your distro uses apt just install apt-fast (its a wrapper script for apt/ apt-get which adds multithreading, etc)
- faster apt.

Did I imagine this setting of is it hidden somewhere?
Ha, so there is indeed something missing in the settings? I've also looked through all the settings and searched for a way to configure the touchpad gestures at all. Couldn't find anything. Would be very happy to learn about how to do this on Wayland. (On X I've just used the nice program Touchégg and could configure it the way I liked, even on a per app basis.)

Questions about TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 16 - Gen7 Max Performance Edition
I'm running Fedora (well Nobara specifically) with Wayland. However, you can get nice touch gestures on most any laptop with X11 using a tool like Touchégg if they are not already working. I've used tools like this for almost a decade to get nice multitouch gestures under X11 with great success.

Touch pad in Elementary OS
elementary OS uses touchegg to handle touchpad gestures, and you can configure it anyw ay you pleaase: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg. The options available by default in elementary OS gestures are kinda rudimentary, so I also recommend https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.joseexposito.touche to more easily define them the exact way you like, and to also maybe even set-up custom gestures for different applications.
