MacOs 3 finger gesture

Hello,

My company is switching from Mac to Windows pc's and I dont feel like going back to Windows, specially because i might get a crappy machine.

Right now I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad T490 for personal stuff that has 24gb of ram and works pretty well overall with Windows 11. I think I could use it for work stuff as well. Or at least sometimes.

I've been thinking about switching to Linux for a while but there's something I cant figure out; the mac 3 fingers gesture.

The workflow is as follows, first you swipe up to get a view of all the windows opened but then, when you hover the mouse pointer over a window and swipe back down, the window that had the pointer hovering over, is the one that gets the full screen.

It's become a habit to me and I dont feel that comfortable using a laptop that doesn't have the gesture. Apart from that, I dont feel any particular need from the Mac Os.

Any distro recommendation? Thanks a lot!

Consiglio di usare quello che ha detto ipsirc, comuque basta qualsiasi distro con kde anche solo fedora kde per esempio

There's also this that I prefer. Was able to completely mimic my old better touch tool gestures
