The Design is Very Human

This is an affront to nature

Looking at you Apple who has this option on by default.

I'd rather have an app with unnecessary options that nobody will ever use than one where some UX expert somewhere has decided the exact way I have to interact with the program.

There was a point in time where first person video games couldn't make their minds up and so games came with the option to have the y-axis inverted. Moving the mouse up would make the PC look down and vice versa.

I blame macs for this. The mouse should move the viewport, not the content, and touchpads/touchscreens are not mice. Having mice default to moving the viewport and touchscreens/-pads default to moving the content is perfectly natural.

they are GASLIGHTING us into thinking reverse way is NORMAL!

i only use that for touchpad

Stop trying to make all PCs phones, its not going to happen. STOP.

I love the natural direction for my track pad and phone, but I'll die before I use it on my mouse. I have to use a 3rd party app to make my mouse behave the way I want and still use a track pad

I preferred the term "Australian scrolling"

It's supposed to mimic how you scroll on your phone. Fine for TouchPads (depending on when you learned to use it(i.e., if you learned to use a touch pad after learning to use a smart phone then it would make, slightly, more sense)), abhorrent for mice.

You only use that on a touchpad

I have natural scrolling on for both mouse and touchpad, I like it much better. It's a pain in Windows though, have to edit register to change wheel direction.

Most of the time, the linux memes community sparks better debates and discussion than the linux one, where everything is circlejerk and "windows bad"

i dont get it. what's "natural scrolling"?

it's mostly for touchpads, I find it better as it mimics the behaviour on phones touchscreen but sometimes I disable it

I hope nobody uses it on a mouse

What am I missing? What else would the mouse wheel do?

Permanently Deleted

That's how I always felt, but after using Apple track pads for so long, my reflex for scrolling has changed.

Because I use my track pad and mouse interchangeably all the time, I just need them to use the same direction for scroll.

This is for people native to touchscreens on mobile, that are now using a touch screen laptop or touchpad.

This got pushed on me on my latest Manjaro/KDE update and unchecking the checkbox does nothing. 😒 Anyone else had this issue?

I would say that
