What else am I missing?
Here's the hilarious reality:
I installed Fedora Workstation on a laptop yesterday, just to check out how that's going.
I'm probably reverting it to Windows because there is no tool to adjust the scroll speed of the touchpad.
And that's what that takes.
Honestly, I am so tempted to ditch Linux because of minor issues like this. No autoscroll on scroll wheel, no option for mono audio, etc etc. I do not want to set up a million scripts to customise my experience, I want the options to be there by default. If MS wasn't screwing the pooch I probably would have moved back at some point.
All of those things have nothing to do with GNU/Linux and everything with the desktop environment you chose.
I'm on Mint, which is one of the most-recommended distros to newbs around. Good luck persuading new users that they should change their distro every time they run into an issue like this. However you may choose to word it, these are exactly the issues that will stop widespread adoption.
Also, I'd like to know which distro actually supports autoscroll.
