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.

Finger gesture does not work in Chromium-based browsers with Wayland enabled
With chromium-based like chrome or chromium, this is not the case but at least I can use libinput gesture to allow navigation using 3 fingers (4 are for workspaces and apps switching). Now, I've enabled wayland on these browsers (set ozone-platform=wayland) and there are these issues:

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.

how hard is it to program pinch zoom for my touchpad in linux?
I personally use libinput-gestures to call commands using touchpad gestures. You can also combine it with ydotool to bind macros and such to your gestures, e.g. 4 fingers swipe down closes the current window, 3 fingers swipe left or right changes workspace, etc

Gestures are are a pain to install on linux mint. I followed all steps for 5 hours in the internet and still it says "libinput-gestures failed to start as a desktop application.". Can someone tell me what am I failing to understand here?
$ sudo apt-get install libinput-tools $ git clone https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures.git $ cd libinput-gestures $ sudo ./libinput-gestures-setup install $ libinput-gestures-setup autostart start

A note-taking app idea that works with our chaotic organic brains
You can easily configure a custom key shortcut to open the "Quick Note" window with a keyboard shortcut. If you really want to run this with a drag-from-edge gesture, I think you can configure a drag gesture with LibInput-Gestures, but I have never tried this for myself.
