Scrolling by clicking on the wheel in Linux?

I installed Deepin Linux (it’s too beautiful), but I met with the problem that I can’t scroll anywhere by clicking. The wheel itself works, I can open tabs, I can just scroll, but it’s so boring to turn until you get to the right place.
What to do? Works only in Ognelis, if you start it "with a push"

For chrome, for example, you can use the SmoothScroll extension

In Linux, by default, the mouse wheel is used to paste from the second clipboard.
Can be overridden in the settings of each browser. For example, in Firefox: Edit / Preferences / Advanced / Use auto scroll.

I asked myself the same question and found the answer on a foreign forum: ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/28150/chrome-chrom... )
Here I will give a description of the method:
first you need to install xinput:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install xinput

then you need to find out the number of the device of interest to us with the command
xinput --list
Next ... If we use libinput, then the commands are as follows:
LibInput
xinput set-prop $deviceId "libinput Scroll Method Enabled" 0, 0, 1 
xinput set-prop $deviceId "libinput Button Scrolling Button" 2  
xinput set-prop $deviceId "libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled" 1

If evdev, then:
EvDev
xinput --set-prop $deviceId 'Evdev Wheel Emulation' 1
xinput --set-prop $deviceId 'Evdev Wheel Emulation Button' 2
xinput --set-prop $deviceId 'Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes' 6 7 4 5
