I'm about to install Fedora 41

From a quick search (using brave search) i found this; which seems to be the proper syntax for changing the scroll speed for a given app (in this case chrome)

“chrome” None, Up, Button4, 3
“chrome” None, Down, Button5, 3

To change scroll speed universally replace

“chrome”

With

“.*”

This uses a wildcard caracter to match any (*) app and modify the scroll speed by a given multiplier (three in this case).

I download the .ovpn file from protonVPN and import it via the VPN section inside the network settings. Enabling it is easy via the menu on the right upper part of the screen in GNOME

For newer WireGuard, I haven’t really tried yet.

I typed your prompts in the nano and I tried to execute with Ctrl + T but nothing, just asking for a file to insert :confused:

When you say you tried to “execute with Ctrl+T”, what do you mean? Are you executing the imwheel program with that?

I haven’t used nano in quite a while so i’m not super familiar with is key combinations. My best advice at this point is to ensure the modified configuration file is properly saved; then open a separate terminal and run the imwheel command. It should automatically detect and load the new configuration.

Yes that’s what I mean, inside nano

Oh so you mean I just have to save the file ? Okay ! And how to run the imwheel command after that ?

Yes, saving the file is needed. To run the command simply type

imwheel

In your terminal
If this does not work it is possible imwheel needs sudo, so try

sudo imwheel

This should work, and fix the mouse speed, however if you close the terminal with imwheel running in it, the scroll speed will go back to “normal”. To avoid this i would suggest adding imwheel as an “autostart program” which should be doable via graphical settings.

I followed all your instructions, tried with imwheel or imwheel -b “45” and it doesn’t work, the strange thing is that each time I typed imwheel or imwheel -b “45”, a window popped up asking me to remote my desktop (obvisouly I selected “No” but it appeared every time so i had to write pkill imwheel and it stopped. A little bit scary

I also installed the firewall using sudo dnf but I have no idea how to configure it.

Hmm… Not sure what that is/caused by, sorry. I haven’t personally used imwheel but it seemed like the right tool for the job. If it isn’t working then maybe uninstalling it is best.

This should have plenty of information on configuring the firewall. Importantly, for GUI configuration

sudo dnf install firewall-config

Alternatively, in GNOME , use the Super key and type Software to launch the Software Sources application. Type firewall to the search box, which appears after selecting the search button in the top-right corner. Select the Firewall item from the search results,

Do you know how to fix this ?

And unfortunately, the secure boot is disabled (I disabled it before installing Fedora, and I cannot enable it now)

Update : I managed to enable secure boot again, by loading my laptop factory default key and now everything’s good !

Its rare to get an HSI4 because it’s so hardware dependent. Best one can do is usually HSI3. But don’t fret if you cant get a high score HSI1 already makes you not the lowest hanging fruit.

Thanks for informatio. How do I know if I’m HSI3 or HSI4 ?

I managed to find how to check security device. How to enable RAM encryption and processor rollback protection ?

It is possible that ram encryption just isn’t supported by your hardware. I know this has always been the case when i do an install on new (to me) hardware. As for processor rollback protection my best guess is that there is a BIOS setting for it (again dependent on hardware support).

Ty ! Do you know a good tutorial for running Windows 11 on VM Machine (with Qemu) on Fedora ?

Tried this one but I unfortunately can’t launch Windows with it
