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

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

Trackpad pinch to zoom
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

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.

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

Firefox on the Brink?
I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.
I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
