There is nothing natural about “natural scrolling”.

It’s the same experience for me, but I still do a lot of Google searches based on Reddit content since there is a lot of information posted there over the years.

When I was still a Linux noob I used to want to do all of the cool customizations and would often end up rendering the operating system unusable. Eventually I just switched to KDE whoch has a lot of customization built in. Some distros make it harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but I think being able to customize and run the latest software out of the box makes a huge difference.
