Zorin OS 16 trackpad gestures do not work

Ah, OK.
So you do have a driver.

If you need a multi-touch with Synaptics, this is what I used to use before switching to Zorin and Touche:

You have to compile it from source but the end result is almost the same as Touche without GUI.

But will it work?

I only used it in Mint Linux (Cinnamon and XFCE desktops).
It worked quite well in Mint.
But I do not have any experience using it in Zorin (GNOME).

I wonder if you are better off using XFCE desktop rather than GNOME for ease of customization.

I will ask @Aravisian's opinion.

I am actually more the GNOME user.

If you are happy with its default settings GNOME is a great desktop.
Problem arises when you want to deviate from the default. I use my GNOME almost as is. I use this hardware setup and can run multiple OSs without a need for dual/multi-boot.

If I want to do a heavy customization, I go for XFCE desktop, not GNOME.

It should work the same on either Gnome or XFCE.

I have almost the same laptop and confirmed that Touche does not work in GNOME desktop.

I think it's because of the touchpad itself.

I am now more inclined to think that way.

Which way?

Hardware incompatibility.
