• Awesome manual!

• i have ubuntu, i couldnt install x11 gesutres, because it didnt even appear, i read its already built in, i installed touchegg, but when i checked if its running it wasnt, some help?

• How to launch touchegg with Terminal

• I don't have the x11 gestures on the extensions browse page, it it because I installed nvidia drivers? It was working previously

  edit:
  Further research ubuntu wayland have the gestures but since nvidia works on xorg, xorg doesn't have the gestures. does this method work in xorg?

• hi when i search for x11 gestures nothing shows up can kindly help me?

• thanks buddy it worked well!

• I use ubuntu22.04 and I ran all the commands, even when I ran the "systemclt status touchegg" it showed on my terminal that it is running and active
  But non my the mouse gesture is working for me, my gestures are still the same like nothing happened 😶 can you please help me with this

• Is there any way to zoom in and zoom out using trackpad in ubuntu? thanks in advance

• is it possible to do so in Kde plasma (Kubuntu)

• It's not working

• ubuntu 23.04 it's not work please make a video what i do

• Ew why do you have your gestures backwards? Natural scrolling is the only way to go.

• Hey thx for a great video.
  How do I have a webpage continuously scrolling after releasing my two fingers? Right now any window & webpage stops abruptly when releasing fingers while scrolling, so can't "fast scroll" like normal scrolling. Perhaps has nothing to do with touchegg?

• Simple clean tutorial

• ❤‍🔥thank u so much!!! helped me a lot!!

• bro wtf it worked.
  I have no idea what made it work but now it works lol

  I'm surprised because I already had touchegg installed, I already had x11 gestures extenion on, I already had gnome tweaks installed. I basically already had everything installed but it didn't work. One of your commands somehow made everything work, thanks!

• Thanks for the tip that i just needed to switch to wayland.
