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.
