I'm using a Dell laptop, but I'm running vanilla GNOME on EndeavourOS (took out the distro-specific customizations in the installer), and its trackpad support seems perfect on mine. Everything is as smooth as I've seen on Windows or MacOS. The settings menu for it is nice. I especially like how it comes with a three-finger swipe left or right to switch workspaces/desktops, or a three-finger swipe up to get an overview of your current desktop. It all feels natural, and it gives me a sense of control; if I swipe slowly, it switches slowly, rather than just make the transition deterministically after I've swiped in some direction (something I've experienced elsewhere on Linux).
I also like that you can use two-fingers to zoom in on a webpage with Firefox, just as on Windows.
GNOME is the first DE I've tried where all of this touchpad support was implemented so well, although I haven't tried that many, to be fair.
Sorry if I sound like an advertisement; I just wanted to be specific about what I like about GNOME's trackpad support as opposed to just saying that it "works fine for me."
I'm running stock Fedora (which uses GNOME) on a Framework laptop and it's the same for me. It's the first time I've had Mac level trackpad support and UI responsiveness out of any non-Mac.. windows or Linux.
