SUMMARY
On my laptop with a touchscreen, the edge gesture is very hard to trigger. Perhaps a customizable sensitive slider that affects the gesture triggering zone would be helpful?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a laptop with touchscreen
2. Setup touchscreen gesture in System Settings -> Workspace Behavior -> Touchscreen Gestures
3. Swipe

OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't trigger for more than half the time.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should trigger with more success rate, comparable to that of Android gesture.

Are you using the X11 or Wayland session?

It's Wayland session.
