This sounds like some silly bug in libinput.

There’s nothing in wayland that would care about whether a mouse was connected wirelessly, but libinput may not be detecting it properly when wired. I’d try reporting it, the fix is likely to be trivial.

It isn’t so much that fedora is the best distro, just that all the other distros are worse.

Using it is just common sense, not something anybody would feel proud about.

You may want to look into gnome classic, it comes default with gnome.

It’s not fancy or even popular, but it was made specifically for people like you.

It’s way worse.

With bsd you could at least take the code you got and make your own fork, with these shared source licenses you get nothing.
