    Should they really though?

    Been daily driving Linux for 15+ years now.

    I recently got a computer that officially supports Linux (framework 13). Running Fedora, an officially supported distro.

    Had to literally compile C code just to change my touchpad scroll speed.

    I love Linux and it’s improved a LOT over the years but there are still things that IMO make it not quite ready for average consumers.

      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
