Funny how long this is taking. I bought a bought a mouse that supports high resolution scrolling back when the feature was added into the kernel. From time to time there's news that the feature has been added into this or added into that, but here on Plasma 5.27 Wayland, I still haven't seen any sign of high resolution scrollwheel support in any app.

If it doesn't work, figure out why then put in a bug report to either Wayland, your WM, etc?

Is there anyone on Plasma 5.27 Wayland that actually has real high resolution scrolling from a mouse scrollwheel? I think some people get high resolution scrolling confused with the faked "smooth scrolling" that web browsers offer. As a basic test, if you open a web page and turn the wheel extremely slow, you should see the page moving by pixels, not by lines at a time.

I know Ubuntu Feasty Fawn if i remember correctly had 'marketed' Compiz and its desktop effects. It attracted Windows folk who liked the effects. If Ubuntu would have made this stuff more accessible it might have attracted more people to the Linux desktop and shake off its 'nerdy' image. But somehow that did not happen...

And these days a Windows user moving to Ubuntu will get a nasty shock over how slow the installer is, how slow Firefox is, how hard it is to get discord + wine + steam up and running.... It truly feels like a regression over the 10.04 days.

Until then there are just too many horror stories of people trying to switch to Wayland/XWayland for it to be worth attempting a switch.
