So as you see in the images this is a very old and a 2gb laptop so I'm thinking of getting the xfce version bcs the windows is a little laggy, Also is there any better option?
been using this for a bit now, finally feels solid enough to share. Bezel adds edge/corner gesture support for trackpads on Wayland swipes, taps, corner triggers, that kind of thing mapped to whatever commands you want.
runs on niri, Hyprland, Sway, and apparently GNOME too (didn't expect that one, Mutter wasn't blocking evdev after all)
made a lil visual debug/demo tool too basically an on-screen trackpad that mirrors your real gestures live as you do them, helps a ton when you're tuning thresholds or just want to see what's being detected.
config's simple, no daemon bloat, low latency. still actively fixing bugs and adding stuff (audio fallback, haptics where hardware supports it, OSD overlays).
if you're on niri/Hyprland and love trackpad gestures, give it a shot. open to feedback/issues 🙏
On macOS, apps can detect whether a swipe started from the screen edge.
Nothing on Linux Wayland did this for trackpads.
Bezel is a Rust daemon that reads raw evdev input, splits the trackpad into zones (left edge, right edge, top, bottom, corners, center) and lets you bind different gestures per zone. Compositor agnostic works on Niri, Hyprland, and should work on anything Wayland.

Still early, feedback and stars appreciated.

Not looking for generic advice. I genuinely don't know what's broken, whether it's the resume, the targeting, or something else entirely. Happy to hear hard truths.
