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?

    If you decide to ditch Bazzite, try either Garuda or EndeavourOS. They’re both Arch-based, which is not something I’d recommend for a beginner, but the rolling release will ensure that you always have the latest software.

    I’ve found some more workarounds for a similar scrolling-related HID++ issue: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216885#c52 (I know I used dash instead of underscore in the module names, it shouldn’t matter since they’re automatically converted)
