From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a couple of Logitech Mx Master 3S mice I use. One really nice feature is that you can 'unlock' the mouse scroll wheel so that there's no resistance. Just spin it fast and it'll keep scrolling for quite a long time.
Actually this most recent version will do click scrolling when the wheel is spun at low speeds, but unlock and let the wheel fly when spun faster. Really great feature.
I know it's also not what you were asking about, but I don't know of that feature in Linux.
I actually have one of those Logi mice with unlockable scrollwheels
...... I only lock it for playing FPSes, to use the wheel to switch weapons. Otherwise it stays unlocked for minimal resistance.
