I don't know how.
Perhaps unscrew the mouse and disconnect the wires going to the scroll wheel instead?
you said what you don't have, but what do you have? wayland? gpm?
Wayland. Out of the box Nobara 39. I found the mouse (Logitech G604) in libinput but couldn't find where to modify the scrolling behavior.
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.
