People can’t and won’t use it because it sucks. Middle mouse click is for two things:

1. open in a new tab
2. scroll/pan

See how they’re both navigation related? Because the mouse is a navigation tool, not a text tool.

A keyboard is a text tool, all pasting should reside on the keyboard. Eagle-eyed readers may notice that there are actually letters on all the buttons they keep mashing at random, those letters are a hint that the keyboard may be used for text-related operations.

Windows sucks now, but it won desktops for a very good reason initially and as Linux is making inroads into personal computing, there are no reasons it can’t learn lessons from why that was the case.

Old Linux GUIs suck and the user experience in general absolutely sucks on anything before Debian 8. Gnome classic was nuked because it sucked, and new Gnome was an improvement in every way, and it was only very recently that KDE got to a similar level of polish.

No one is saying the feature should be completely removed, just like KDE’s insane defaults of “Peek at desktop” in the bottom right instead of “minimize all windows”, it just needs to be hidden somewhere because 99% of users don’t expect a computer to work this way and with good reason.

Leave the legacy toggle in for people who cut their teeth on OSes made by companies that went bankrupt shortly after making them and expect all computers to work like that until the end of time.

Heck - just for them, create a separate clipboard that always holds the user’s nudes and dedicate left mouse click to a shortcut that emails them to their dad for all I care, because it’s how it worked on a random hack of AmigaOS they used in the 1800s, I don’t care, just leave us out of it.

X11 is a protocol that Xorg implements

This. Only correct comment in the entire thread. Rest are people who probably don’t even use computers and have no idea what a mouse is.

Happens all the time.

Oh cool I didn’t know that

I don’t believe ur mom adds much to the discussion xD

If you’ve never accidentally pressed the mouse wheel while using your mouse you must just not use computers very much, especially not for work

Post literally describes who and how it hurts. You need to read.

Hey OP, can you try running a nested gamescope session to see if that fixes the issue? I usually always do this as a rule of thumb for all full screen applications due to the many QoL features like real Vsync.

Actually, can you even do that on Wayland yet, or is that Xorg-only?

You’re right of course - it could be a Sway issue, but with Sway being engineered from the ground up to be a Wayland compositor, and conforming to that design, I would still blame Wayland.

To give a comparison: NTFS has many annoying flaws and limitations, but because it’s ultimately a file system created for the NT kernel on Windows, I blame Windows for its limitations.

Besides common sense would suggest that usually when it comes to launching games a display protocol would have more impact than a choice of WM, though Wayland blurs that line because of it’s unusual architecture compared to what we know and love with the X11 protocol and good old Xorg…

Classic Wayland. Fuck Nvidia tho
