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.

wayland, something nobody wanted and is WORSE than X11

systemd, something NOBODY wanted and is worse than any other kind of init

have you tried latest eclipse cdt ? a gigantic pile of shit, the latest buzzword is LLVM, that is ANOTHER layer of idiocracy over a compiler

my motto ?

you generation LOVE to reinvent the wheel as an hexagon

not to mention RUST, really, if you cannot handle c or c++ you are NOT fit for purpose

python ? a language written to avoid typing {}

you [sic] generation LOVE to reinvent the wheel as an hexagon

Planned development of additional sides this will better approximate the wheel.

Sadly scroll speed is yet unplanned except for a few applications.

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.
