   I am not forced -- I can have scrolling work either way. And same with my   
   mouse wheel -- and on that I use a third party mouse and a third party driver   
   that gives me pretty impressive flexibility and choice. I do not know the   
   options for Linux now, but I know in the past I was unable to find anything   
   close there. In case you care, here is what I use:

   Free software offers some choices. Other choices (Mac / Windows) offer other   
   choices. Pros and cons to each of these choices. Of course within the "free"   
   world you get lots of internal choices -- different DEs, for example, but with   
   macOS you get a lot of efficiency / productivity tools I appreciate.   
      
   I am just happy all exist and all push each other.
