From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Firefox] Highly sensitive touchpad scrolling fix for Wayland! (lemmy.world)

Been tinkering with alot of parameters in about:config, but I finally a viable solution:

We all know that changing mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_Any particular Axis values changes the minimum number of lines being scrolled

But what this does not change is the sensitivity of the smallest "fling" gesture when scrolling with a touchpad.

Here's the values you want to alter when trying make the scrolling feel more "tighter" or more "Windows like" or to fix the issue described above:

set apz.fling_friction 0.002 --> 0.005

apz.fling_min_velocity_threshold 0.5 --> 1.5

the above will make the smooth scrolling with touchpad actually feel smooth and in control. As opposed to simply changing the delta multiplier values.
