From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a magic trackpad 2 (maybe 3, not sure) and haven't noticed any lagging issues. I mainly use it wired, but the times I did use it wirelessly I didn't notice any lag either.
Unfortunately I didn't have gestures ootb, though that could be a KDE plasma thing, since they have touchpad gestures like two finger scroll and tap to click disabled by default as well.
Setting up gestures using touchegg was easy enough though.
Does that work purely wired?
It does work wirelessly, but I'm not sure if it's also stable long-term since I mostly use it wired.
I think you misread but that does answer my question too ;)
