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

Fixed multiple recent regressions and longstanding issues with System Monitor widgets

Yes please, that widget needs love and love

Always existed on firefox at least. It's super old feature but modern interfaces seem to have mostly dropped or ignored it. On firefox depending on the distros it would be disabled, changed, etc. It conflicts with the middle click pasting from the second buffer feature. It's like the backspace button going back, depending on the place it either works or is changed to meaning something else. At least these 2 were almost always different on firefox when using windows vs Linux and probably the first thing a user using Firefox moving from windows to linux would notice.

Just kill middle click pasting already, it's so annoying

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.
