Multi-Touch Touchpad Gestures on Linux

A guide to enable multi-finger gesture support on any Linux distro, be it Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Fedora or Arch. Supports pinch-to-zoom in Chrome, Firefox & other browsers.

Enabling touchpad gestures on Linux:

  1. Go to Touchégg's Github Repo.

  2. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see the Installation & Configuration instructions, which will guide you through rest of the process.

Tip: Restart your PC if gestures do not work right away.

GUI to Configure Touchégg.

Use Touché, the desktop application to configure Touchégg, by the same developer, so less compatibility issues (I found none).

Gesture Support for Gnome

To enable multi-touch gestures on Gnome, install GNOME Shell X11Gestures extension
from Gnome Extensions.
