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.

You can now turn on the “autoscrolling” feature of the Libinput driver, which lets you scroll on any scrollable view by holding down the middle button of your mouse and moving the whole mouse

Am I crazy, or did this used to be a feature? And not just in Firefox

It's a Windows feature that never really made it to Linux. I used to miss it but honestly, middle click paste feels way more useful to me now

Yeah, autoscroll just isnt as good as manually moving rhe mousewheel, and i use paste way more than i ever want to scroll through a 10+ page document.
