NOTE: Do not install the plugin packages "ruby-fusuma-plugin-sendkey" or "ruby-fusuma-plugin-appmatcher" --- If you have them installed, remove them. They can cause errors/conflicts with the following config.yml examples provided in this post.
mkdir ~/.config/fusuma
4. Create a new file ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml
5. Edit your newly created config.yml to contain the following:
Use a text editor and place the following content (directly below) into the file and save. This particular config works in Garuda KDE Dr460nized. If you feel Dra460ny, you can refer to the example configs that have been contributed for your convenience HERE and adjust your config.yml to your hearts desire.
IIRC this config.yml works on Gnome & XFCE as well. Testing needed.

fusuma
I suggest first to start fusuma in a terminal, not-daemonized, for initial testing. Simply type fusuma in your terminal as instructed above in step 6. fusuma should now be running in your terminal.
Try some gestures on your trackpad / touchpad...
You can plainly see which gestures are defined in the ~/.config/fusuma/config.yml that you just created.
Try 3-finger-swipe up/down/left/right, for example.
You can watch the terminal output from fusuma (in the terminal you started fusuma in) as you are swiping/pinching. This is handy for troubleshooting.
You should now have Multitouch Gestures.
Remember, we are running fusuma in a terminal for testing purposes right now as instructed in this guide. You can ctrl-c out of that to kill it. Now we want to run fusuma in the background each time we login.
Add then Add Applicationfusuma -d in the popupfusuma -d
DONE. Now fusuma will run daemonized each time you login to KDE.
You can now logout/login (after killing your current fusuma instance) to make sure it runs when you login.

Note: Use Sway/i3 autostart procedure to run the fusuma -d daemon in the background with each login.
Conculsion: I find fusuma to be very reliable as well as cross-desktop.
