Touch Screen Gestures
I use touchégg for touch screen and touch pad gestures on my 2 in 1. Works really smooth. To configure it easily I further suggest touché

Three-finger gesture for equivalent of alt-tabbing
There isn't something like this that currently exists, and three-finger swipes in KDE are set to switching workspaces (you cannot change this unfortunately). However, if you use https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg with the https://github.com/JoseExposito/touche GUI, you can customise a different gesture to press Alt-Tab.

Any widgets that can mimic the Windows 10 control center(slides out from the right of the screen)? It's really handy when I'm on my laptop. Windows, by default maps it to a 4 finger tap on the touchpad. Can we replicate this on KDE?
Touchegg is really good for multi-finger gestures. The default configuration file is for Gnome so you will need to download this .conf file to use it in KDE. You can edit the config file in GUI with Touché.

Use libinput-gestures in x11 to emulate gnome-wayland?
Everything is here just be aware that when you change the number of fingers set for the gnome gesture in the gnome extension it doesn't unregister it's old mapping you have to manually remove them in the config file ( I don't know if this bug is fixed yet ) otherwise you will not be able to map other gesture from the GUI

Is it possible to map keystrokes to 3-finger swipe gestures (for example alt+left for backswiping) on a touchpad in Manjaro?
I've tried touche and gestures but neither of these two seems to work. For example, I mapped the following syntax in gestures: "xdotool key alt+left" (or alt_l+left) to be able to backswipe in Google Chrome but nothing happens. The same goes for touche. I would appreciate your help.

How to configure Touchpad and Touchscreen gestures?
After a little research I found that Touchégg was a good option. I even installed the desktop application to configure it. The thing is that I was really expecting to use my touchpad for the gestures, but for some reason Touchégg recognizes my Touchscreen only. Went to the touchegg.conf to see if there was an option to change this and didn't find anything.

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?

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.
