libinput-gestures VS solus-sc

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:

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.

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

$ 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

if using wayland, try https://github.com/OneAdder/libinput_gestures_qt and https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures

The github has quite a lot of info, so hopefully we can find the right config for what we need on there https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures

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.

Solus

If you are interested in an excellent, 100% community-based distro without any corporate involvement whatsoever, consider Solus.

You might consider Solus OS, an independent that is not derived from Arch, Debian, SUSE, Fedora or anything else. Built from the ground up. I've been using Solus since 2017, and have been happy with it. Solus is focused on the use case of an "ordinary home desktop user", and is remarkably stable and reliable. Solus is a curated rolling release, which means that Solus is always up to date, but nothing is released unless and until it has been thoroughly tested. I've used both Solus Budgie (2017-2020) and Solus Plasma (2020 to date).

You might want to take a look at Solus Plasma. Solus is an independent, entirely community-based and community-funded distro, offering KDE Plasma, Budgie and Gnome desktops.

Solus MATE. Solus is extremely fast and lightweight. I'd say is perfect for this case

The main Solus website (getsol.us) is back online. DataDrake also updated it with some of the changes she's been working on. In the next few days she's going to go back to the datacenter to bring the rest of the infrastructure online.
