Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

I just switched from Windows 10 to Bazzite with KDE 6. I have experience with linux before, but not as a main OS. I have a Logitech Performance MX. I used SetPoint on Windows to fine-tune things.

For some reason, my scroll wheel acts differently in almost every program. Firefox is the only one that feels normal. My scroll wheel clicks as I scroll, and in Windows that would do 3 lines up or down.

Nothing except Firefox follows the clicking, so all my scrolling is super fine-grained as if I were scrolling with a trachpad. I tried Solaar and that gave me an option to turn off smooth scrolling, but now I need to scroll 6 or more times to see any movement. Increasing sensitivity in KDE just means after 6 times of nothing, the next one is a huge leap. There's no middle ground it seems and I'm losing my mind trying to fix this.

Is there anything else I can do?

I can't wait to try this when I get home today. I can't thank you enough for the details. I'll let you know how it goes later.

if you have a Bolt dongle, try using that instead of Bluetooth.

I use the unifying receiver that came with the mouse.
