    That is most likely not a linux issue, but a driver issue, if the driver was as bad on windows as it is on Linux, you would need to do the same to achieve that with that hardware. 🤔

    Or, if handled by window manager, it may be, that there are different implementations for different managers, and yours happened to not support scroll speed change🤔

    To be fair, most common user do not change scroll speed.

    But I agree, most will just continue using unsafe windows 10

      The issue is with libinput so kinda but it’s a “Linux” issue for sure.

      To the user it’s an OS issue. Manufacturers don’t provide good driver support for Linux. They treat windows as the only first class citizen so there is no need to change the default speed or config on windows.

        😆”there is no need to change default speed”.

        You know, there is not a globally agreed “perfect” scrolling speed, even if driver is better for windows.

        But the better driver on windows maybe allows changing scroll speed after all.

        I guess not, changing scroll speed does not work on a lot of touchpads, even on windows.
