A Quick look alternative is preinstalled on Fedora (GNOME sushi). Just press space while on the file manager.

Thx, I know sushi, it was the first thing that I've found that made me love fedora. Out of the box quick look :-) But it is only similar to quick look, not as polished and integrated. Good enough though.

Pretty much like the touchpad experience, if you tune a few settings, buy a glass touchpad from a Yoga x1y3 for your T480s WQHD[1] and install `libinput-config` to fix the kinetic scrolling on HiDPI :-) But don't use touchpad drivers like mtrack or synaptics. Stick to libinput...

I plan to publish all my findings and research in a `Transition from macOS to Fedora` article in my blog, but 2 toddlers take their time ;)

It's not equivalent. With QuickLook, I can not only preview files, I can manipulate them. For example, I can crop an image, or add a signature to a PDF, or even edit an image that I'm previewing on my computer with my phone or tablet and the result is on my computer instantly.
