I use Chromium browser and LL does not do the reverse scrolling. That burnt me until I found how to make it do so by adding a command in the system startup. I've had to do this since LL 3.6 I think, I have been with the OS for some time, it's pretty good for everything I will ever do on the net. I will leave a copy of the command needed to make the reverse scrolling possible for those like me who try any OS with the Xfce DE. This works with all Xfce DE that I have used for reverse scrolling with Chromium browser.

Install on MBR drives only, otherwise the bootloader could make the disk unbootable, destroy the existing OS, delete partitions, cause shutdown hangs and/or rebooting after shutdowns, etc. Do not install the 4.20 Kernel as it induces system sluggishness throughout the system. There is still some slight sluggishness with the 4.15 kernel, for example, YouTube videos having very slight tearing (line(s) during video playback). Uses "sudo" instead of "su". BlackMATE theme installed by default. It gives very nice roundness to the Whiskey Menu. Setting the Whiskey Menu "Show Menu Hierarchy" does not create sub-menus (where a folder has "+" signs to denote a sub-menu). The Application menu is non cascading, so one has to scroll constantly; it will cover part of the system taskbar when "Settings" is highlighted. Like some other distros, some older applications have squished menus. Con: Everything in LL has a gray tinge to it: text fonts are a lighter shade of gray on top of a darker shade of gray, making it somewhat tiresome after awhile. Rendering Hinting Anti-Aliasing was set to "Full," but the sub-pixel order was set to none. (It looked good, regardless, and should need minimal "tweaking".) Contains the Paprius icon set, and like any icon set it is subjective, but since it is a flat theme, whether or not one finds it acceptable may depend on the monitor one is using. Flat icons may look good on a cell phone, for example, but even cell phones usually have glass covered screens to increase contrast and sharpness, unlike most monitors produced today. Libre Office is installed instead of Open Office. Nice icons, though. Firewall ufw installs pre-configured for “Home,” so that’s a plus. Was this review helpful?
