    This works for me out of the box on KDE with Firefox, but it has to be the Wayland session. It's not implemented for X11.

    GNOME should use Wayland by default and I don't expect it to work differently, but maybe this gives you some hints...

    It works for me on i3 which is an X11 wm but I think it's only firefox.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

    Chromium and its descendants also do this, but yes, that's implemented by the browser itself.

    Support for global touch gestures is dependent on the DE's feature set.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    What should i install? Or use

    [–] Ziglin 2 points 8 months ago

    Sounds like it works in firefox by default. If it working in other apps is a requirement look for a de that supports it globally. Or perhaps find an app that does it. Honestly does seem like something that could be done a driver from my very limited driver knowledge.

    Make a meme telling "this is literally impossible I am switching back to ChromeOS" and you will get all the answers

    Less likely to get RTFM from people who remember what it's like to love a computer not obsess over it I suppose

    Thanks. TIL best to ask Linux questions in meme groups for fast, reliable and free support.

    [–] olutukko 3 points 8 months ago

    asking in support group can lead to some annoying answers in my experience. I rarely get the answer I want, mostly just people questioning why I want to do the thing I'm trying to do in the first place, or mansplaining the thing that I already know. the straight to the point -answers are rare

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

    It was setup that way out of the box for me

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Just tested it after never using it before, it works for me by default on Firefox on GNOME using Wayland on Manjaro.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    Yes but I guess they mean everywhere?

    Always make a statement in opposition to the question you want asked. I think Ubuntu is the best distro for web development.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Nah. Notepad in Windows. Definitely.

    [–] Crack0n7uesday 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    That is single most annoying and useful feature ever implemented into a track pad.

    Slackware. You are either a dumbass for trying it or it will cure you of being a dumbass.

    Android, literally all those candy crush people

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    i guess it's application specific, i can go back in history in firefox

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)
    [–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    in firefox(wayland) i wipe left to right and in go back

    [–] Rustmilian 3 points 8 months ago

    I can confirm, I get the same behavior.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    Its the default behaviour for firefox. Normally you have to disable with by tweaking browser.gesture.swipe.left/right in about:config
