how to change mouse sensitivity in Linux

They don't need to understand DEs or any of that. Press Super ("the Windows key") and start typing "mouse". Please teach people how to use PCs properly; this is the fastest way to access any program or setting in both Windows and popular DEs: Cinnamon, KDE, MATE... Windows will even happily send anything you type here to Bing for easy web search by default ๐Ÿ˜‘

OK so I think you might be joking but in case you're not:

  1. "They don't need to understand DEs" and "Please teach people." Well which is it? is it intuitive or does it need to be taught? It can't be both

  2. That was just an example. Your solution doesn't solve the problem I'm describing as a whole and I think my point still stands. Search might be common to most DEs but that doesn't change the fact that they all work slightly differently, and if you want to know how to do something that can't just be searched for, you need to know what DE you're using. Which means knowing what a DE is. Not to mention, a user coming from a Mac wouldn't think to just hit super anyway. It's cmd + space there.

  3. It's not the "proper" way, it's just "a" way. There is no "proper" way do to this kind of thing. I would even argue that it's not even the "best" way because you're not learning how to navigate your OS/DE if you do it that way.

This is exactly the kind of facetious bs "ugh, it's not hard, just rtfm, noob" response the op is talking about
