Why can't Linux do this?

blame compositors and drivers. it's literally impossible to chance mouse speed on this shit because of those.

inb4 a KDE plasma feature update released 3 days ago (the only UI you can set this in) while Windows has it since 1999

What happened to non-line based scrolling? I swear this used to be a thing, you'd scroll and it would just stop wherever. No little soft-clicks in the scroll wheel. No "3 lines" or whatever. Am I just making shit up? Talking about year 2000-2004 here.

>>105989579 (OP)
if anything was straight forward it wouldn't be linux. its like buying a russian car and asking why you can't just make the car warmer or colder by twisting a simple knob.

>>105989601
Maybe they should work on that instead of making the 99999999th distro with the 9999999th new DE.

>>105989579 (OP)
It can do this though, using any good DE or by just calling xinput, or using one of the many software packages out there for different mice.

>>105990264
need to see the receipts on this because to my knowledge, it's literally impossible to set mouse cursor speed in loonix (and not just mouse acceleration).

>>105989579 (OP)
What are you talking about? It's really easy. Just open the file
>/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf/40-libinput.conf
then set the "flat" profile to 1 and the adaptive and custom profiles to 0.

Find your device id using the command
>xinput
After that change it using the device ID you found with this:
>xinput set-prop "<deviceid>" "libinput Accel Profile Enabled" 0 1 0
Check it afterwards with:
>xinput list-props "<deviceid>"

Oh you want it to work after you reboot don't you? Well fuck you then you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf/40-libinput.conf and put a bunch of random bullshit inside of the file.

Oh way you use any other distro but the one I'm using? Fuck if I know probably need to edit .Xresources in your home folder. Oh you wanted to change acceleration instead of disabling it? That's an entirely different thing using set-props. Then you have to edit yet another file in that same global configuration directory because why not. It's *nix.

Oh do you use Wayland? Too bad. It's different for each and every WM and DE. Use a mix of wayland and xorg? LMFAO good luck.

>>105990273
Okay... I don't usually use a DE, but I happen to be running Linux Mint and it comes with this by default. There's nothing wrong with the other approaches I mentioned though.

>>105990338
>no option to choose how many lines to scroll at a time using the mouse wheel like in OP
Linux is such a worthless desktop OS compared to Windows, how can you even use this?

>>105990421
Put some effort into it at least if you're gonna shit up /g/ with troll posts.

>>105989579 (OP)
I'm pretty sure I have all those options available on xfce

>>105990443
He's right though. I think they've only implemented this very recently on certain versions of KDE on Wayland. Kind of ridiculous since it's been a thing since at least Windows 95.

>>105989579 (OP)
what

>>105989579 (OP)
literally, what is the usecase?

>>105990609
The use case is not getting RSI from your index finger because each scroll click only moves 0.0001 pixel

>>105990761
>each scroll click only moves 0.0001 pixel
this doesn't happen. next usecase.

>>105990527
>negative pointer speed
fosstards can't into ux part 542132

>>105990890
seems logical to me, it's just slower than the normal speed.

um?

>>105990443
He's right though. A shit thread deserves shit replies.

>>105990897
Imagine if your volume slider went negative. It also wouldn't really make sense. Like what is the "normal" value anyways? Ideally, programs should show something real like DPI or decibels.

>>105990997
freetard can't even set his scroll wheel speed lmao

Thinly veiled tech support thread.

Real software for doing work requires the mouse. You outed yourself as picrel.

>>105991229
Please tell me what negative audio sounds like.

>>105989579 (OP)
it can. if you're so incompetent that you can't figure it out then linux isn't for you.

>>105991246
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel
>dB(true peak) – peak amplitude of a signal compared with the maximum which a device can handle before clipping occurs.[59] In digital systems, 0 dBTP would equal the highest level (number) the processor is capable of representing. Measured values are always negative or zero, since they are less than or equal to full-scale.

>>105991267
damn. I'm not reading all of that.

>>105990890
negative pointer speed sounds like it would go in reverse.

>>105989579 (OP)
Two kinds of people contribute to Linux and related projects like desktop environments:
1. People with over a decade old stinkpads
2. Literal macfags
Neither cares about cursor/scroll speed/acceleration
Also pic related

>>105989579 (OP)
linux is just a kernel

>>105991307
audio volume should be measured in fraction of a rifle shot or screaming eagle in order to be understood by the ameritard

>>105991296
>negative speed
Do they not teach subtraction in the projects?

>>105989579 (OP)
lol

>>105991151
Are you an upset janny? This is the lamest ban ever. Please moderate plebbit instead.

fuck jannies

>>105989579 (OP)
mouses with a web based configuration can do this I believe

>>105989579 (OP)
that scrolling inactive windows when hovering is fucking gold, no need to click shit active on other monitors just to scroll.

>>105992105
it's literally the only feature they stole from loonix

>>105990338
why are you using shitnux weed using the color scheme of a stereotypical pimp? you are fatso at best and a moutbreather who jerks off to his mom's dirty underwear at worst.

>just [run a bunch of terminal commands even though a gui solution already exists on linux]
Why the fuck is ALL Linux advice like this? Kill yourself.
>>105989579 (OP)
???

>>105991229
thats a completely different scale of measurement

>>105989579 (OP)
I never managed to get middle click working on my Xubuntu laptop :(

state gender: how often do you get called the n word on 4chan?

>>105990421
Okay, I'll bite. Usecase?

>>105989579 (OP)
Because nobody bothered to implement that. I could easily setup my mouse to do that with libinput but do I care? No.

>>105989579 (OP)
>>105989601
Works on my machine.

freetards gonna freetard

I hope you are not gaming on this abomination of a setup.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/sway-input.5
input <identifier> scroll_factor <floating point value>
Changes the scroll factor for the specified input device. Scroll speed will be scaled by the given value, which must be non-negative.

all those settings can be specified per device as well

Cursor speed isnt a problem because my mouse has an inbuilt dpi button that allows it to go pretty fast
Mouse acceleration might be retarded though. I just got used to it and didnt bother to change it.

>>105997297
>jay niggirwin saves his flamewar troll thread from page 10 after hours of no bites

>>105989579 (OP)
Can't do what, exactly?
Yes, main click is RMB. I am left-handed.
I hate mouse acceleration it's now off. I can turn off RGB on my mouse and I also did that.

It can. It also does this better than limited restricted slavecuck spyware Windows is. You will be butthurt cuckslave forever. Cope
