An X11 apologist tries Wayland
I recently tried switching to Linux with a few different distro&#x27;s (Ubuntu, Elementary OS, etc.) and use Wayland.<p>The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me, and which I&#x27;ve been unable to solve, is that apparently it&#x27;s not possible to configure trackpad scroll speed. At all.<p>From what I was able to gather, Wayland&#x2F;libinput say they shouldn&#x27;t be responsible for handling it and instead window managers should[0][1], meanwhile gnome says wayland&#x2F;libinput should handle it[2] and ultimately - several years later - it&#x27;s still not possible to in pretty much any Linux distro that uses Wayland(?)<p>When I switch to my Linux laptop to test things, my trackpad is bonkers and I have to move my finger in like 1mm increments because otherwise I&#x27;d scroll like 10 pages in Firefox. It&#x27;s infuriatingly frustrating.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.freedesktop.org&#x2F;libinput&#x2F;libinput&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues&#x2F;185" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.freedesktop.org&#x2F;libinput&#x2F;libinput&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues&#x2F;18...</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.freedesktop.org&#x2F;wayland&#x2F;wayland&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues&#x2F;87" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.freedesktop.org&#x2F;wayland&#x2F;wayland&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues&#x2F;87</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.gnome.org&#x2F;GNOME&#x2F;gnome-control-center&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues&#x2F;379" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitlab.gnome.org&#x2F;GNOME&#x2F;gnome-control-center&#x2F;-&#x2F;issues...</a>
