On my notebook, how do i configure the touchpad gestures? I use stock ubuntu. My aim are to show activities (all open windows) when i tap with 3 fingers on the touchpad.

You can setup gnome extensions and install
It doesn't have a ton of configurations, but its better than the default.
It's actually easier than that in most cases. The problem is that Ubuntu by default still uses X11 and there is no touchpad gestures with that.
You have to switch to "Ubuntu on Wayland" (or Gnome with Wayland, if you prefer), then it is enabled by default and works really well.
To switch to "Ubuntu on Wayland", just go to the login screen (where you can select the user to login) -> click on the user you want once, but don't enter a password yet -> at the bottom right you will see a "cog" icon. -> click that and select "Ubuntu on Wayland"
Then go ahead and enter the password.
Now it should work out of the box and be remembered for the future.
Be aware though, that there are small drawbacks with wayland still. (screensharing does not work everywhere, ...) Apart from that it is working fine
