Jack Wallen/ZDNET Years ago, I attempted to configure multitouch gestures for Linux and found it next to impossible.

Fast-forward to now, and there's a simple-to-use app that makes adding and configuring multi-touch gestures a breeze. That app is called Touché, and it makes customizing touchpad gestures
