Please share if you have figured this out. I've just changed updated to the new Debian release and what I'm finding is - mouse scroll wheel speed is now unusable fast - gnome does not have an adjustment in settings, tweaks - much of the guidance you find on line applies to X but not to Wayland - The Wayland, compositor, and client developers have been in a multiyear food fight over who's supposed to do something about this - but nobody appears to actually do something about this. - You'd think that a usable mouse would be something that people would consider important these days. - My mouse worked better in Linux 30 years ago than it does today.

I'm thinking udev/hwdb but I can't figure out how to set a value for POINTER_SCROLL_WHEEL which is the problem event.

inb4 KDE or Sway or different mouse, please. I'll eventually consider these, but you'd think this would be treatable.

You realize Wayland is a protocol, like X11, right? Blame the idiots who programmed the implementation in each desktop environment.

we do NOT need ANOTHER protocol, we ALREADY have a protocol

if the children do not understand it, they need to study it

NOT reinvent the wheel as an HEXAGON

I agree with you, but I think they had good intentions. It just ended up sucking.
