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.

How to disable scroll wheel in Fedora 39 (Nobara)? (lemmy.sdf.org)

My mouse won't stop constantly scrolling and a replacement is a couple days away. How can I temporarily disable the scroll wheel? All the instructions I can find deal with xorg or xinput which I do not have. I can't find any scroll wheel setting in either settings or piper.

Optionally just being able to disable it in firefox would save my sanity.

Thanks for any help.

I don't know how.

Perhaps unscrew the mouse and disconnect the wires going to the scroll wheel instead?

you said what you don't have, but what do you have? wayland? gpm?

Wayland. Out of the box Nobara 39. I found the mouse (Logitech G604) in libinput but couldn't find where to modify the scrolling behavior.
