Xorg cannot do that, there is nothing that gnome devs could do to make it do that. You can try this or this for Xorg.

[PopOS] Linux Pinch-Zoom Gesture Not Working?
You can try using this library. I installed Pop OS using the same wiki too. Were you able to use the mic toggle using the method given there? It's not working for me. Also, CPU runs a bit hot compared to Windows and battery life is just 2 hours with integrated graphics.

X11/WLAND question (Gestures under X11?)
Under GNOME WL session you have gestures out of the box available on touchscreen & touchpad, even in third-party apps like Firefox where pinch-to-zoom is possible. Under GNOME X11 session you won't have those gestures and you gonna install an extension for that.
- "Tap to click" is inconsistent. Any way to adjust? (Not hardware issue, works fine on Windows 10)

Is spending your day troubleshooting part of the Linux experience?
Nvidia is a pain on Linux, with the possible exception of PopOS who did a great job on their installer. To use NVidia on Fedora, follow these two docs: 1.1 RPM-fusion for non-free software on Fedora 1.2 Setup Nvidia correctly 1.3 Run Gnome X11, Gnome on Wayland is still hit-and-miss (I went back to Intel only, so all my Wayland stuff would work). Maybe the next version of Gnome and newer drivers will fix this. 1.4 If you want gestures on X11-Gnome then you need this: JoseExposito/gnome-shell-extension-x11gestures: Enable GNOME Shell multi-touch gestures on X11 with this extension

Multi-touch gesture Not working on Manjaro 21.1.0, DE: Gnome 40.3, windowing system: x11
For X11, there is this extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4033/x11-gestures/ but before you have to install touchegg (check their github repo) idk if Manjaro have touchegg on their repos or what, Arch doesn't and i'm on my Arch desktop right now so i can't check that for you, but it's on the AUR anyway.
