Greetingo! So there’s something i want to change but do not know how. As i use windows as well as linux, i’m more into two finger swipe in browser for previous or next page (alt + arrows). But libinput is using three finger swipe. Is there a way to change the three into two? thanks!
That will be completely desktop/WM-dependent. If/When you post the garuda-inxi AS REQUIRED you’ll probably receive decent help.

There are tools that allow you to use more or less fingers it seems
Hmm i looked at libinput gestures for this (you can too just search it in application launcher) and it seems you can only have more than 3 fingers and not less…
I could be wrong though perhaps there is a way to bypass this 
. Ah also any changes made here need a reboot to take effect.

Ok, but is there any other tool to register my gestures? I remember that indeed Libinput doesn’t let you use swipes with less then 3 fingers.
Yes, there is syngestures
but I don’t know a lot about it like how well maintained it is or how good it is. It certainly says that
Introducing Syngestures
syngestureis a configurable, multi-device capable, and rust-powered userland daemon that brings basic multi-touch support for one-, two-, and three-finger gestures to the venerablexf86-input-synapticsdriver. It is, of course, fully open-source and released under the MIT license.

It is only available in AUR and you would have to look up setting it up and everything yourself. It’s certainly not going to be a easy journey but good luck. 
do you know if it lets using 2 fingers?
The value of each gesture’s type may be either swipe or tap; a numeric fingers parameter from 1 to 5 is required in both cases, but an additional direction (being one of right, left, up, or down) is required in case of swipe.

Ooh, what SGS linked looks very clean
