Good news! It's in vanilla Ubuntu now. The main holdup was Wayland - go get your Wintel machine and try booting up a Wayland session in KDE or GNOME. If your trackpad was manufactured with multitouch, chances are it will have gesture support. Any distro shipping GNOME 41-ish or Plasma >5.25 should have this by-default. As for the feel... I'm gonna be honest, I don't notice any difference from my Mac. If anything, my Magic Trackpad has more gesture options on my KDE machine out-of-the-box. Don't knock it till you've tried it!

Erm well, I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland and the touchpad is still crap :/ Worst thing is that I can't enable "tap to click" because the palm detection just doesn't work at all.

Why Wayland? You get libinput on both Wayland and X11 and X11 has gestures since 21.1

I have an external Magic Trackpad 2 running with Wayland/Ubuntu 22.04, and it works great.
