1 day ago This is a particular, a gnome issue. The philosophy they have that they will provide simplicity, which actually breaks functionality most of the time. Btw I had this issue too on Gnome, So on any other desktop environment there is a toggle in settings for this take:- KDE, Cosmic, and on most Window Managers you can change it in config files. As there is so much complexity and so many different ways to do it on Different configurations, doing it here isn't feasible.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On my old laptop (Lenovo Legion 2019) I ran into an issue after installing certain distros, such as Fedora 39 - the touchpad scroll speed was waaaay too fast everywhere - text editor, browser etc. Unless something changed between Fedora 39 and Fedora 40, by default there is no option to change that. After searching for some time I found this reddit post by u/Insulifting pointing to this.
Creating the libinput.conf file in /etc, adding scroll-value=0.23 and following the steps in the post, it finally worked.
I don't know how often people run into this issue. but maybe having some other small fixes like this could be useful.
