Off topic but I really wish the regular old mouse and scroll wheel would work ”normally” straight out the box on fedora/ubuntu/etc. It’s really such a horrible experience coming from Windows when using the mouse is all icky not having ”proper” (Windows default) acceleration on and scroll wheel scrolling one line at a time.

Like many people I really want to make the jump but still hang on to Windows via O&O Shutup 10.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I've never had any mouse wheel issues on Linux, when I dual booted daily so it had plenty of chances to compare. In fact I made sure I had the exact same mouse speed on both OS.

My wheel doesn't scroll a line at a time, and there are three acceleration modes for the pointer-default,adaptive and flat.

I keep hearing people complaining about Linux with the weirdest problems ever.

Sounds good, I’ll try again when I have time.

My latest attempt was back in Summer with Fedora 36 and a Logitech mouse. The default was one line at a time and I could not find a setting for it. (Apart from Firefox config but I need multiple browsers.)

Amusingly I even gave Chromebook (kind of a Linux) a proper try and with the scroll wheel it too scrolled a single line at a time.

I have been using Linux as my primary OS for many years, but this particular issue is stubbornly baffling. There are solutions of course but they are not really good.

This may or may not help, but this mouse has variable acceration (DPI) and I've been pretty happy with it.

This is ironic to read as I felt the windows mouse controls were dogshit compared to what I had with macOS
