Did you double-check that you're on Wayland? My Magic Trackpad works like a charm in KDE Plasma Wayland.

I believe so. Isn't Wayland default on Fedora? Did you compare Wayland to X11? I also went for the KDE Plasma spin.

Aren’t they both using libinput? How would Wayland make a difference there?

I just don't get trackpad gestures on KDE or GNOME under x11. My Magic Trackpad only really "works" when running in a Wayland session of either desktop.
