Opportunistic, pragmatic Pop!
Don't underestimate the appeal of small utilities. The elementary appcenter has nice little tools like this or this, and Mint has warpinator. Unity used to have some nice little helpers, too. For instance a HUD. Lets make a list of tools (or browse OMGUbuntu) and pick the top 20. Maybe includin this. Make them available on Pop and make the top 5 part of the default installation.

Which touchpad gestures package to install?
gnome-shell-extended-gestures: this one requires Wayland, not sure if this is okay or not

Touchpad swipes to control to go back one page in your browser in GNOME 40
I don't know where you can exactly read up on that. I guess go to the extension's github page and ask there. Here how it looks in the extension's settings.

trackpad gesture to "go back" in web browsers
There are some Github projects that provide both utilities in one (Ex. fusuma and fusuma-plugin-sendkey) and even some projects that already have the browser back/forward integrated in Wayland (Ex. gnome-shell-extended-gestures).

System76 Developing “Cosmic” Desktop Environment
Gnome 3 has gesture support. I don't think many are built in, certainly not as many as mac OS gives you out of the box. But you can go wild: https://github.com/mpiannucci/gnome-shell-extended-gestures

Two fingers horizontal swipe for ALT-TAB
Hi, before G40 I use this extension to manage swipe gestures, now with native gnome gestures I have some problem to switch from application to another application in the same workspace; is there a way to use two fingers horizontal swipe for emulate the ALT-TAB function? Thx

Is there is a way to change workspaces using the trackpad like the way Mac does?
I was thinking of this one: https://github.com/mpiannucci/gnome-shell-extended-gestures. The other person’s link appears to be a better fit though.

Questions before I install Linux
This is really dependent on your desktop environment. For example, this is a GNOME extension that adds extra touchpad gestures.

gestures in gnome
Are you using X11 or Wayland? The README.md for that extension says that it only works on Wayland (just like Gnome's built-in support for touchpad gestures).

2 Finger History Navigation in Chrome/Chromium
Also looking for an answer to this. I've tried gnome-shell-extended-gestures and it lets me map a multitouch gesture to "back", but only 3 or 4 finger gestures. No luck there for the 2 finger horizontal history controls I'm used to with Windows and ChromeOS.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gnome-hud and gnome-shell-extended-gestures you can also consider the following projects:
cosmic - GNOME Shell extension. See cosmic-epoch for COSMIC Epoch
workspaces - Workspaces app for linux elementaryos gtk
touchegg - Linux multi-touch gesture recognizer
warpinator - Share files across the LAN
fusuma-plugin-sendkey - Fusuma plugin that sending virtual keyboard events
