    Meanwhile yesterday I fucked up my linux installation trying to find alternatives on how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it :/

    I’ll be trying again when I am not lazy to reinstall it again.

      Click “Activities” in the upper right and search for “tweaks”, click the “Tweaks” icon. Select “Keyboard & Mouse” and turn “Middle Click Paste” to “off”.

      For Gnome ^ but I’m at work and can’t confirm.

        Damn, someone who actually gives GUI instructions and doesn’t yell at the person? Keep it up. The Linux community needs people like you.

        As far as I remember I tried that but it didn’t seem to work and some xdotool script that disabled the wheel click entirely. Then I installed kde, tried a few more things there, and then I tried to go back to gnome but… …

      I recently tried out Fedora and it deleted my Windows boot files so I had to fuck with the computer for hours trying to troubleshoot… not to mention that almost all Linux tools can’t create a proper bootable USB Windows recovery drive :/ Never had this problem with OpenSUSE (I had the best Linux experience with that one for sure) or Ubuntu, they behaved properly with dual-boot install. I guess Fedora never again. And what’s with that name anyway? It’s dumb. Fedoras are a meme for a reason.

        Just make a Ventoy USB. Why people still bother flashing disk images to thumb drives is beyond me.

          It’s still needed for some things. I tried to install a Universal Blue based distro with Ventoy and kept getting errors, once I flashed a drive it installed perfectly normally. It’s definitely an edge case though.

        I guess that’s because it was a community continuation of red hat linux (not the enterprise one)

        Fedora Linux was thing before fedoras became the meme we know. Also, I would imagine some of the original Fedora Linux guys really did wear fedoras.

      how to be use the wheel click without having things pasted with it

      This is the #1 feature I miss wherever I’m forced to use a non-Linux system.

        Really? What happened exactly? Hang on. Are you using an Nvidia card? The Nvidia drivers can be finicky sometimes, especially if you have CUDA installed.

          I’m pretty sure it was caused by some nvidia driver. It just cut the upgrade process halfway through and in turn damaged nearly everything. Not exactly sure what happened. Either way, my system got so broken I figured it’s easiest to just wipe everything and start from scratch.
