Review Summary

Linux Scroll Speed Fix is praised for effectively resolving slow scrolling issues on various Linux distros and Chromium browsers, offering an easy and unobtrusive fix. It particularly benefits users on Ubuntu, Mint, Pop OS, and others, with customization options for scroll speed. However, multiple users report inconsistent performance on some distros like Mint and Fedora, choppy or jerky scrolling, excessive touchpad speed, and occasional scrolling blockage. Despite some limitations, it remains a valuable tool for Linux users suffering from slow or inconsistent scrolling in their browsers.

Pros

  • Effectively fixes slow scroll speed issues on Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, and Pop OS.
  • Simple, unobtrusive, and easy to use with a well-functioning interface.
  • Auto-disables itself when not running on Linux, enhancing usability and avoiding unnecessary intervention.
  • Provides customization options for scroll speed adjustment, improving user control.
  • Compatible and works well on multiple Chromium-based browsers and even Chrome OS (to some extent).

Cons

  • Does not work properly on some distributions such as Mint and Fedora, with reports of jerky or choppy scrolling.
  • Can increase touchpad scrolling speed excessively without separate control, causing discomfort.
  • Scroll improvements sometimes inconsistent, not activating every time especially on certain Chromium versions, resulting in a distracting experience.
  • Does not fix scrolling on the Chrome Web Store and some specific websites.
  • Occasionally causes complete scrolling blockage or jumpy behavior on sites, reducing usability.
