Making a track pad scroll backwards compared to everything else that ever existed then having the smug cajones to label the setting as “natural scroll direction”. If you don’t remember this change, you are young.
Before I made it into the engineering department at work and finally got them to give me a Mac laptop (M1 MacBook Pro watch out! ~They really broke the bank on that one.~) I was very used to Windows scrolling when at work, and Mac scrolling when at home, especially because I would switch at home between a trackpad and a mouse, so I wanted the mouse to scroll Windows style, because that’s what I was used to at work, and the natural scrolling on the trackpad. And I couldn’t do that whatsoever without downloading a third-party app. Which to me is bonkers.

The fact it couldn’t be (maybe still is) different from the mouse scroll direction is wild to me. They should be separate settings!
I’m all natural, baby.
EDIT: I grossed myself out
Shudders
I cannot stand that setting

I’m all-in on natural scrolling, and have been since day one. It scrolls the same way as swiping on your phone.
Its the first thing I change when I set up any Linux distro.
It’s been default on the distros I’ve used so I have to change it. Donotwant.gif
