Keyboard shortcuts are completely configurable in many Linux desktop environments. I use XFCE, where I simply open up Keyboard settings to edit them.
On my laptop that has a Synaptics touchpad that supports advanced gestures in Windows (with 2, 3 and 4 fingers), I was also able to get them to work under Linux with very little trouble and with complete configurability - I can assign any gesture to any action.
