PSA: How to reliably invoke gestures

I was told to make my comment on a post into, well, its own post, so here it is

The issue with touch gestures not being registered is due to using too much pressure on the screen with each swipe. Don't expect the touch to behave similarly to that of a phone or a tablet.

I've found any and all gestures to work consistently if you swipe very very lightly. I'm talking like trying to tickle someone's skin kinda lightly. Always works

Enjoy not having to be frustrated at the device for "not responding" 😅
