Hi, I'm on Manjaro GNOME, and I've been trying to set up the middle-click cause it doesn't work. Like my computer just doesn't wanna recognise it.
Now, it worked before I installed Manjaro GNOME where I had FerenOS, and also works in live environments, so it's not something wrong with the mouse. Can anyone help?
By default GNOME uses the Wayland compositor session that doesn't support middle-button paste. You can select the Xorg session in the GDM login screen to have rhe functionality.

What do you want the middle mouse button to do?
I have CentOS7.6 running GNOME dektop, and middle mouse button works; for example, when I click (with middle button) on a link in a browser, that link opens in a new tab.
I have not tried to paste, for that I normally use Shift+Insert, or Ctrl+V or right click and paste.

Well, I've tried basically everything I could remember the middle-click doing. I tried in games, on the browser with links, although I never knew that you could paste with it.
