Yes I agree about the smoothness issues, however you can really improve things by adding the line `timeout 0` to your ~/.config/libinput-gestures.conf to set the threshold to the lowest setting. The comments here are from the end of their example config https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures/blob/master/...: ############################################################################### # You can set a timeout on gestures from start to end. The default is # the value commented below. It can be any value in float secs >= 0. # 0 = no timeout. E.g. set it to 2 secs with "timeout 2". timeout 0

Cool! I've been using libinput-gestures for a while now as a hackish way to accomplish multitouch gestures. It's easy to use and works well if anyone wants this functionality without waiting https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures

Have you tried this? https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures I'm using three fingers swap for switching between workspaces. But I agree with the comment above, the animation is key.

Number 1 seems wildly subjective based on the person's level of dexterity and the hardware used. The only way I could see that being meaningful if you did it on the exact same laptop side by side with Mac and Linux and tweaked the acceleration profile, but it doesn't actually sound like the author is talking about installing Linux on a macbook. Numbers 2 and 3 are already in libinput. I am still struggling to understand what it is the author feels they need to fork the project for; there is some additional software that needs to be provided to really get the mac-like desktop experience with gestures, but that is covered by the libinput-gestures project. https://github.com/bulletmark/libinput-gestures
