Amiga/Linux: Jurassic Boing Edition
Still got a lot to figure out. This is the first time I'm tinkering with MUI (NGL. It feels like the Win32-esque API that had been missing from GNU/Linux for all these years). Eventually, I'll write an OS installer that will use MUI for the GUI and the excellent distinst for the installer routines.

Activate automatic file system check (proactive maintenance)
I wasn't sure if it is a bug or intended behavior so I shared my thoughts about it on Mattermost and thanks to u/jacobgkau now there is an open issue about it on GitHub.

There is the PR from earlier this year though I am not sure the priorities they have right now, given the new DE work.

Pop_OS btrfs install not working
Besides all is not despair and sadness because there is currently a proposal (https://github.com/pop-os/distinst/pull/286) to add btrfs as a target file system from the installer, so that all the post-installation footwork will no longer be necessary). As you can see it must still go through QA but it's promising!

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.

Touchpad Gestures and Hibernate option
If I'm not mistaken, you can only enable hibernation if you've set up a swap partition on your disk. As for the touchpad gestures, you might want to take a look at these - https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.joseexposito.touche
