I understand the complexity of it and also understand that it's easier said than done but honestly, if anything's still holding 'The year of Linux Desktop' back, it's the focus on making things more fragmented (Forks of Forks of Forks) rather than working towards the common goal of a neat desktop, the proven ideas that clearly improve the experience and prove the software's quality, as far as daily usage is concerned. So I decided to contact the developer of SmoothScroll and ask them about their reasoning behind not having a Linux app and this is what they told me: 2 main reasons. Are you looking for a code example or an answer to a question «Smooth scroll to specific div on click in angular » Examples from various sources (github,stackoverflow, and others).

Expanded reason related to 2 which is how much users on a platform are willing to pay for an app like this.Į.g free windows users outnumber Mac users 10:1 yet my paid Mac revenue is still much higher than Windows.

But unfortunately, Smooth Scrolling is a thing that doesn't really exist on Linux all across the board.Įven now, you'll find inconsistent smooth scrolling applied to apps in all the DEs which just means one thing, Bad UX.

I think at this point, in 2022, it's safe to assume that Smooth Scrolling is a quality of life improvement that exists on all major operating systems (even mobile ones).
